    Are navigation apps guiding you... or steering you?

    Navigation apps can get us almost anywhere. But what happens when convenience becomes the default way we experience the world? In this episode of Outside the Fox, Kim and Steve explore how GPS, reviews, and recommendation algorithms have transformed the way we travel, find restaurants, and discover new places. They discuss everything from public transit and fitness trackers to five-star reviews, hidden gems, and whether today's navigation tools are helping us explore—or simply guiding us toward the same destinations as everyone else.

    How Firefox's new mascot came to life

    Firefox has a new mascot—and there’s more to it than you might think! In this episode, we chat with the Firefox brand team to discuss the thinking behind Kit, how the character came to life, and what it represents. Our colleagues unpack what “brand” really means beyond logos, how Kit was designed to reflect Firefox’s values, and why details like motion, accessibility, and tone all matter when building something people connect with. Plus: behind-the-scenes stories from the process—including some very real debates about Kit’s tail.

    What does logging off mean anymore?

    In a world where your phone, TV and even your fridge are always online, what does logging off even mean anymore? Steve Flavin and Kim Horcher unpack the chronically offline trend, the pull of going analog and how to log on with intention. They unpack why being offline can feel like a luxury, why going analog still has such a strong pull and how small “speed bumps” can help build healthier boundaries online — including Firefox Focus for browsing with less tracking and fewer follow-you-around ads.

    Why Firefox is letting you turn off AI

    Firefox’s new AI controls put you in charge of what shows up in your browser and what doesn’t. Kim and Steve sit down with Ajit Varma, Head of Firefox, to break down the master switch, granular controls and what’s coming next. Firefox 148 gives you a single hub to manage AI-related features in Firefox. You can turn these features off, quiet related notifications and choose which tools you want enabled. Ajit shares why Firefox is doubling down on choice, control and privacy, and how this fits into the broader product roadmap.
