Your tech choices matter more than ever. That’s why at Mozilla, we believe in empowering users to make informed decisions that align with their values. In that spirit, we’re excited to announce our partnership with Ecosia, a search engine that prioritizes sustainability, and social impact.
Did you know you could choose the search engine of your choice right from your Firefox URL bar? Whether you prioritize privacy, climate protection, or simply want a search experience tailored to your preferences, we’ve got you covered.
Ecosia goes beyond data protection by addressing environmental concerns. Every search made through the search engine contributes to tree-planting projects worldwide, helping to combat deforestation and regenerate the planet. Ecosia planted over 215 million trees, across the planet biodiversity hotspots, making a tangible difference in the fight against climate change. Just like Mozilla, they are committed to creating a better internet, and world, for everyone.
Together, Mozilla, Firefox and Ecosia are contributing to a web that is more open and inclusive, but above all — one where you can make an informed choice about what tech you use and why. Your tech choices make a difference.
As Firefox and Mozilla continue to champion user empowerment and innovation, we invite you to join us in shaping a web that makes the world better. Together, let’s make a positive impact — one search at a time.
So in the wake of the decision that lost them their Google partnership, Mozilla Corp is trying to cozy up to Bing frontends instead? I wish I could say that I’m surprised.
What do you want them to do instead? Print money?
No, I want them to either reduce the CEO’s salary or just fire the CEO, and just the Foundation volunteer board as the board of directors at no salary or stipend.
Well, the CEO that you’re talking about quit earlier this year. Probably wasn’t getting paid enough. 🫠 We’ll have to see how much the new CEO is getting paid.
And I do not see why unpaid workers should buckle down and inform themselves about everything going on in the company as well as the tech sector to be able to make informed decisions.
For the same reason they inform themselves already to be part of an open-source project? Besides most of the focus they need to have is making the best possible browser with the most W3C-compliant feature set.
