Firefox 66.0 Aims to Reduce Online Annoyances

Re:Firefox 66.0 Aims to Reduce Online Annoyances by OscarTheGrinch on Tuesday March 19, 2019 @05:05PM (#19435864)

Firefox needs to be the browser OF something, something super simple: privacy, security, convenience, etc. "Reduce Your Online Annoyances" is a bit of a mouthful. Being the browser of "Support Us Or Google Will Own Everything" is likewise not compelling for the vast majority of users.

Firefox has the functionality, now it needs to cement its narrative.

Saying it's the browser that brings "No-ads experience to your Android smartphone" would be pretty powerful message to get a share on average users market.

Well it's obvious they're positioned to be the browser "of privacy," but they could probably stand to hype that a bit more.

They run ads on the front page and install addons remotely into their users' computers. They are everything but "without shitware".
