Project Tagline
An open OS that puts web content first
End Goals
- The process of discovering and finding great Web content is simple, yet familiar
- Differences between content types (web apps, websites, etc.) are abstracted away from the user entirely
- Users no longer experience non-optimized Web content (web content not formatted to the screen size and input method)
- Barriers to the consumption of content (such as installations and re-authentication) are a thing of the past
- The experience of loading Web content is quick and fluid
- Connection issues no longer "break" the experience (endless spinners, partially loaded content, etc.)
- Users can access their favourite content from any device
- Users can start any task on one device and finish it on another
- The Firefox OS experience is familiar and approachable for the average Web user, yet enables full control over users' online experiences (should they choose to exercise it)
- Developers/content creators have new ways of getting content in front of users and are not beholden to the rules/terms of distribution via controlled app stores
