Welcome to Mozilla’s first-ever Annual Consumer Creep-O-Meter. In 2023, the state of our digital privacy is very creepy.

Mozilla’s Annual Consumer Creep-O-Meter distills what’s good, what’s bad, and what’s just plain creepy in the world of consumer tech.

Includes ‘big picture trends’, ‘best and worst products’, and ‘numbers’

    This is great an all, but how exactly does Mozilla profit from this? Like didn’t they axe a huge swath of employees a couple of years ago because they had too many departments not generating profit?

      Mozilla’s core purpose isn’t to make profit, and so some projects won’t (and shouldn’t) be focussed on making money. I don’t think people would trust the recommendations if there was a profit aspect mixed in

      Our 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

          My understanding is that Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit organization that focuses on open & accessible internet, and they have a for-profit arm that helps fund those initiatives.

          So it’s possible that the for-profit arm might axe projects that aren’t working / not bringing in money, since otherwise it would put their wider goals at risk.
