Our users care about getting things done, saving time, having fun, communicating with the world and staying in touch with their loved ones. Mozilla cares about privacy and security. How can our focus align with their concerns?
Everybody wants to be safe, but they feel helpless that the steps to get to safety is often hard, overwhelming and confusing - involving case-by-case memorisation and ad hoc tactics. Today, we're exploring three ideas that allow users to accomplish their tasks faster, in a way that's more secure and privacy-aware than ever. User Profiles When users want to share their computer/browser with other people (permanently or temporarily), they shouldn't worry about "mother-in-law snooping". Containers When users want to use many accounts for the same websites - professional/personal emails, multiple Twitter usernames, separate eBay buyer/seller - they shouldn't need to sign out or use another browser. When users open a sensitive site - banking, government services - they should be protected against potential attacks (e.g. cross-site request forgery). Private Session When users want to browse privately, the sites they open in secret shouldn't know about the other sites they open in secret. The wiki has descriptions and mockups of each idea. We're looking forward to your contribution! _______________________________________________ dev-privacy mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-privacy
