Alopex is the project name for our initiative to evolve the design and overall experience of Firefox OS. | |||
Alopex used to be the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_fox genus under which the Arctic Fox was included] and it's a cool [http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Alopex female mutant Arctic Fox] from a popular cartoon. | |||
==='''Project Goals'''=== | |||
Alopex is about delivering an open OS that puts Web content first. | |||
It is about crafting an end-to-end Firefox experience that: | |||
* Puts Web content in the center of the experience | |||
* Directly addresses the shortcomings of the Web on mobile | |||
* Emphasizes the Web's strengths of immediacy and continuity across devices | |||
* Is centered around simplicity yet puts the user fully in control | |||
* Creates an open platform for participation, and promotes community contribution | |||
This initiative will build on top of the amazing work that has gone into customizations (add-ons), the ability to save/use Web content (Pin the Web), data sync and more. | |||
