About Firefox
Firefox is Mozilla’s browser and the only widely used one with its own engine rather than Chromium’s. Total Cookie Protection keeps cookies confined to the site that set them, so they cannot follow you around the web, and enhanced tracking protection is on out of the box.
It has the deepest extension support outside Chromium, including content blockers that still use the older, more capable extension API. Builds exist for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, with ESR releases for people who want fewer changes.
Strengths
- Total Cookie Protection stops cookies following you between sites
- An engine that is not Chromium, which matters for the health of the web
- Strong extension support, including content blockers with the full blocking API
- Tab groups, containers and a genuinely configurable interface
Limitations
- A small number of sites are still built and tested only against Chromium
- Mozilla’s revenue comes largely from a search deal, which shapes some defaults
- Recent releases add AI and recommendation features that some users turn straight back off
