Mozilla wants you to come back to Firefox, so it’s going on a nostalgia trip

The internet was a different place back in 2009. Social media feeds were actually driven by social interactions, the creator community was a tight-knit group of lovable outsiders, and Firefox reached its peak market share. During the final year of the 2000s, 32% of internet users chose Mozilla‘s browser when surfing the web.

In the nearly two decades since, that market share has experienced a significant decline. Google’s Chrome is still a top choice, Apple’s Safari is the default option on iPhones, and Microsoft’s Edge has improved upon its predecessor, Internet Explorer. Only about 3% of internet users currently browse with Firefox.

To win back those lost customers, Mozilla is reminding them that 2009 wasn’t so bad. The tech corporation has recruited some OG creators for a campaign that urges consumers to prioritize security and user choice — two qualities that are strengths for Firefox.

In the campaign, titled “Come Back to Firefox” and devised by agency We Believers social media legends wax nostalgic about a bygone era of the web. If you miss the days when Bad Luck Brian and Overly Attached Girlfriend memes filled feeds, viral video stars like the Numa Numa guy and Tay Zonday flourished, and OG YouTubers like Annoying Orange and Liam Kyle Sullivan reigned, then this campaign is targeting you. If you don’t know why we ask Where The Hell Is Matt, or you’re unfamiliar with Chuck Testa‘s profession, then you’re probably not the Millennials who Mozilla is looking for.

How is the internet less private than in 2006, when the whole family shared one computer?
