Mozilla has made a decision to use a decentralized service for developers to communicate, built using an open platform . It was decided to launch the Matrix server using a hosting service .
Matrix is recognized as optimal for communication between Mozilla developers, as it is an open project, not tied to centralized servers and proprietary developments, uses open standards, provides end-to-end encryption, supports search and unlimited viewing of correspondence history, can be used to transfer files, send notifications, measure presence developer in online, organization of teleconferences, making voice and video calls.

In addition, the moral and technical obsolescence of the IRC protocol was noted, which in modern realities is not as convenient as we would like, is often blocked on firewalls and does not provide proper tools to protect against spam and communication violations.
Of the Mozilla-related events, one can also note in Firefox an alternative provider for DNS over HTTPS (DoH, DNS over HTTPS). In addition to the CloudFlare DNS server ("https://1.1.1.1/dns-query"), which was previously offered by default, the service will also be included in the settings. , which also develops the eponymous for DoH. Activate DoH and select in the network connection settings.

The service must also commit not to censor, filter, interfere with, or block DNS traffic, except as required by law.
Notably, one (104.16.248.249) of the two IP addresses associated with Firefox's proposed DoH server, mozilla.cloudflare-dns.com, в at the request of the Stavropol court dated 10.06.2013.
