This is not just an issue of baking features into our browser or Firefox OS. We
also build services and could start an effort to build services that enable
private user communication and sharing, support existing efforts through
contribution and step up the enduser privacy education we already do.
We have the smartest people in the industry, and frankly, aside from obvious
content JS security issues, building software around crypto (instead of bolting
it on) is primarily a UX problem.
Mozilla is one of the few 'honest brokers' here, and privacy is already a
differentiator for us.
Cheers,
David
