User privacy and protection are extremely important themes for Firefox and there's growing concern over these issues as more people (particularly less tech-savy ones) get on the Web for the first time. The subject is particularly relevant in Asia, where many countries have limited protections for user privacy and security, or in extreme cases, have laws which undermine certain rights. | User privacy and protection are extremely important themes for Firefox and there's growing concern over these issues as more people (particularly less tech-savy ones) get on the Web for the first time.

This highly interactive | This highly interactive workshop aims to surface the most prominent privacy and security concerns in Asia and identify ways that we could improve Firefox to address the unique needs of this continent. This session won't be about technical improvements to protect privacy or security; rather it's focused on discovering user-facing features that will differentiate Firefox from other browsers. | ||
We'll do pair interviews to quickly understand the nuance behind privacy and security concerns in different regions. In small groups, we'll sort out our findings into major themes to take back to the UX team. As a community, we'll discuss our concerns and generate ideas about them for Firefox. | We'll do pair interviews to quickly understand the nuance behind privacy and security concerns in different regions.
