The Mozilla-Project is a global community of technologists, thinkers, and builders working together to keep the Internet alive and accessible. It was initiated in 1998 when Netscape-Communications-Corporation released the source code of its browser suite. The primary goal of the Mozilla-Project is to foster choice and innovation on the web through the development of Open-Source-Software.
The most prominent product of this initiative is the Firefox web browser, which utilizes the Gecko rendering engine to ensure compliance with Web-Standards. The project is overseen by the Mozilla-Foundation, a non-profit organization that ensures the internet remains a public resource. Development and distribution of products are managed by its subsidiary, the Mozilla-Corporation.
Significant contributions to the tech ecosystem include the creation of the Rust-Programming-Language and the maintenance of the MDN-Web-Docs, which provide comprehensive resources for developers.
