That\u2019s why we&#8217;re always focused on building a browser that empowers you to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/en\/products\/firefox\/firefox-news\/ai-services-on-firefox\/\">choose your own path<\/a>, that gives you the freedom to explore without worry or compromises. We\u2019re excited to share more about the updates and improvements we have in store for you over the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bringing you the features you\u2019ve been asking for<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve been listening to your feedback, and we&#8217;re prioritizing the features you want most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/en\/products\/firefox\/firefox-tips\/transform-firefox-into-minimalist-workspace\/\">Productivity<\/a> boosters like\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tab Grouping, Vertical Tabs, <\/strong>and our handy <strong>Sidebar<\/strong> will help you stay organized no matter how many tabs you have open &#8212; whether it\u2019s 7 or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/news\/firefox-power-user-keeps-7400-plus-browser-tabs-open-for-2-years\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">7,500.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plus, our new <strong>Profile Management system<\/strong> will help keep your school, work, and personal browsing separate but easily accessible.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customizable new tab wallpapers<\/strong> that will let you choose from a diverse range of photography, colors, and abstract images that suits you most.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Intuitive privacy settings<\/strong> that deliver all the power of our world-class anti-tracking technologies in a simplified, easy-to-understand way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>More<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>streamlined menus<\/strong> that reduce visual clutter and prioritize top user actions so you can get to the important things quicker.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Continuous work on speed, performance and compatibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speed is everything when you\u2019re online, so we&#8217;re continuing to work hard to make Firefox as fast and efficient as possible. You can expect even <strong>faster, smoother browsing on Firefox<\/strong>,<strong> <\/strong>thanks to<strong> quicker page loads and startup times<\/strong> \u2013 all while <strong>saving more of your phone\u2019s battery life<\/strong>. We\u2019ve already improved responsiveness by 20 percent as measured by <a href=\"https:\/\/hacks.mozilla.org\/2024\/03\/improving-performance-in-firefox-and-across-the-web-with-speedometer-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Speedometer 3<\/a>, a collaboration we\u2019ve spearheaded with other leading tech companies. And in that collaborative spirit, we\u2019re also working with the <a href=\"https:\/\/hacks.mozilla.org\/2024\/02\/announcing-interop-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interop project<\/a> to make it easy for people to build sites that work great across all browsers. We value your support in our efforts to improve cross-browser compatibility which is why we\u2019ve added new features to easily report when websites aren\u2019t working quite right; this feedback is critical as we look to address even small functionality issues that affect your day-to-day online experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Making the most of your time online \u2014 without sacrifice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensuring your privacy is core to everything we do at Firefox. Unlike other companies, who ask you to exchange your data in order to do even basic, everyday things online &#8212; you don\u2019t have to give up your personal information to get a faster, more efficient browser experience with Firefox. Reading a news story in a different language or signing a form for school or work shouldn&#8217;t require you to give up your privacy. So, we&#8217;ve worked hard to make things like translation and PDF editing in Firefox happen locally on your device, so you don\u2019t have to ship off your personal data to a server farm for a company to use it how they see fit &#8212; to keep tabs on you, sell your information to the highest bidder, or train their AI. With Firefox, you have a lot of choice &#8212; but you don\u2019t have to choose between utility and privacy. Your data is secure, and most importantly, just yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are approaching the use of AI in Firefox &#8212; which many, many of you have been asking about &#8212; in the same way. We\u2019re focused on giving you AI features that solve tangible problems, respect your privacy, and give you real choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re looking at how we can use local, on-device AI models &#8212; i.e., more private &#8212; to enhance your browsing experience further. One feature we\u2019re starting with next quarter is <strong>AI-generated alt-text for images inserted into PDFs<\/strong>, which makes it more accessible to visually impaired users and people with learning disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Join us on this journey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our progress is driven by a vibrant community of users and developers like you.
