Mozilla Firefox

Free web browser with focus on privacy and open-source development.

Why you might care

Firefox prioritizes user privacy by blocking trackers by default and offering strong privacy controls. It's open-source, free, and backed by Mozilla—a non-profit focused on internet health rather than ad targeting. Popular with developers for its robust DevTools and those seeking alternatives to Chromium-based browsers.
