2019 wasn’t a great year for Mozilla, with a major add-on crisis in May that Peter Saint-Andre and Matthew Miller claimed “was the result of having an interlocking set of complex systems that were not well understood across the relevant teams”. Last year’s overhaul dramatically improved its performance, which was starting to lag behind the likes of Chrome, and it’s smooth and solid even on fairly modest hardware.Īs much as we love Firefox – right now it’s still our favourite browser – we’re worried about its future. As before it’s endlessly customisable both in terms of its appearance and in the range of extensions and plugins you can use. Version 90 is particularly good: it can alert you if your email address is included in a known data breach, it blocks those annoying allow-notifications popups, it blocks “fingerprinting” browser tracking and it brings its picture in picture video mode to the Mac version. Firefox has long been the Swiss Army Knife of the internet and our favourite browser.
