The Mozilla Foundation published a new dashboard to track technical issues affecting Firefox’s ability to provide a better browsing experience on Windows, Android, and iOS. The Platform Tilt tracker monitors security, stability, performance, and functionality issues, giving the Foundation ideas for changes needed to preserve competition on all platforms.
Mozilla said that web browsers are now shaping the internet experience for most users. This central role has long motivated the Mozilla Foundation to build a better Firefox. However, it also incentivizes the dominant players to control and dictate what browser people may use. There’s a long history of companies leveraging their position as OS or device makers to “tilt the playing field” in their favor.
