Firefox: Private Web Browser
Mozilla Corporation
About
Firefox is a fast, private web browser that blocks trackers by default and protects your data from the start. Enhanced Tracking Protection automatically blocks social media trackers, crypto miners, and fingerprinters across the web. The built-in password manager generates strong passwords and autofills logins securely. Private browsing mode doesn't save history, searches, or cookies. Reader Mode removes ads and clutter from articles, and you can sync tabs, bookmarks, and passwords across devices through your Mozilla account. Customize your search engine, home screen layout, and search bar position for one-handed browsing.
