Mozilla Firefox

Firefox is a web-browser developed by a company named Mozilla. Unlike Apple Safari and Google Chrome, Firefox is an open-source web-browser that focuses on user experience in terms of security, speed, extensions, and ubiquity – making the Internet public and available to anyone and everyone possible. Mozilla's company page states that their mission is, "...to ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. An Internet that truly puts people first, where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent."

Mozilla created Firefox in 2002. It began as a beta that received much praise for its quick web searches and available extensions. Firefox was and still is a direct competitor of Internet Explorer. When it was released to the public in 2004, it quickly took ground and received over 60 million downloads before the year's finish. Today, Firefox is still one of the most widely used web-browsers available due to it's major success from the beginning and continued dedication to a truly free web experience.

Impact on the Web
In relation to Web 3.0, the Firefox browser is not the type of browser that will support the evolving web. Due to its open-source platform and emphasis on freedom and security, Firefox is likely to be the only true web-browser when Web 3.0 comes around. Chrome and Safari are already in the transition of web-applications and synchronized user data, which is what Web 3.0 needs to be a more personalized web. However, Firefox will likely remain as a simple browser that uses little to no user information to create a great web experience.
