Mozilla's mission is to move the Web forward with the user always front, center and fully in control. This requires a wide variety of innovation, exploration and experimentation, both within the browser and beyond. These pages are a showcase of our currently active explorations as they happen.
"Upspin is an experimental project to build a framework for naming and sharing files and other data securely, uniformly, and globally: a global name system of sorts. It is not a file system, but a set of protocols and reference implementations that can be used to join things like file systems and other storage services to the name space.
Performance is not a primary goal. Uniformity and security are."
Collusion is an experimental add-on for Firefox and allows you to see all the third parties that are tracking your movements across the Web. It will show, in real time, how that data creates a spider-web of interaction between companies and other trackers.
"The Mozilla Location Service is a new experimental pilot project to provide geo-location lookups based on publicly observable cell tower and wifi access point information. It is currently in its early stages, but already provides a basic service experience in select locations."

An experimental interface based on natural language input
Ubiquity was a Mozilla Labs experiment that was in development from 2008 to 2009. Its purpose was to explore whether a radically different type of interface to the Web - a task-centric, natural-language-based command line - could help us get common Web tasks done faster.
The Google Analytics Management API is currently in labs and experimental. While in labs, it will most likely change. In most cases, we will do our best to give customers at least one month advance notice to migrate to new API releases before we remove or deprecate old functionality. Stay up to date by joining our notify google group. In unusual cases such as where our internal systems are affected or our ability to provide a high level of service to our end users, we reserve the right to make changes on shorter notice.
