= creator of Firefox

Bio

"He’s the man who, as a teen-ager (in 2003), realised that the free software movement was losing the web browser world because there wasn’t a lean, free web browser available. So, he forked Mozilla and created another piece of software you might have already heard of: Firefox. The rest is history. In fact, it’s a history with a 25% market share, which is impressive if you consider that each copy of Firefox needs to be downloaded and installed, as opposed to using what comes with Windows directly."
