5 Things to Know in Less Than Five Minutes
1. Block "Fingerprinting" & Increase Privacy with Firefox Fingerprinting is a type of online tracking that's different from cookies or ordinary trackers. Companies use it to make a unique profile of your computer, software, add–ons, and even preferences. Settings like the screen you use, the fonts installed on your computer, and even your choice of a web browser can all be used to create a fingerprint. The latest Firefox has a new feature to help you block fingerprinting coming from many ad trackers. Learn how »
2. Mozilla Brings Ethics to Computer Science Curriculum Mozilla joined with others to award funding to 17 initiatives that integrate ethics into undergraduate computer science courses. "Today's computer scientists write code with the potential to affect billions of people's privacy, security, equality, and well–being," says Mozilla Fellow, Kathy Pham. Check out the winning initiatives, and learn more about this important work »
3. "Deepfakes" are Here. Now What? Mozilla's 2019 Internet Health Report digs into "deepfakes." Deepfakes are photos, videos or audio clips manipulated using artificial intelligence to depict a person saying something that they have never said, or doing something they have never done. See the report to learn more about what deepfakes are, how they've been used, and what strategies might work to deal with them.

It often takes trained engineers to create, release and distribute VR content. That could soon change, however, thanks to a new project built on top of the WebVR platform that Mozilla has pioneered.
