[Mozilla Firefox is there still providing hopes for a mainstream web browser that respects your privacy][1]. - -Firefox has improved a lot lately and one of the side-effects of the improvements is removal of add-ons. If your favorite add-on disappeared in last few months/years, you have a good new in the form of Witerfox. - -Attention! - -It’s been brought to our notice that Waterfox has been acquired by System1. This company also acquired privacy focused search engine Startpage. -While System1 claims that they are providing privacy focused products because ‘there is a demand’, we cannot vouch for their claim. -In other words, it’s up to you to trust System1 and Waterfox. - -### Waterfox: A Firefox-based Browser - -![Waterfox Classic][2] - -[Waterfox][3] is a useful open-source browser built on top of Firefox that focuses on privacy and supports legacy extensions. It doesn’t pitch itself as a privacy-paranoid browser but it does respect the basics. - -You get two separate Waterfox browser versions. The current edition aims to provide a modern experience and the classic version focuses to support [NPAPI plugins][4] and [bootstrap extensions][5]. - -![Waterfox Classic][6] - -If you do not need to utilize bootstrap extensions but rely on [WebExtensions][7], Waterfox Current is the one you should go for. - -And, if you need to set up a browser that needs NPAPI plugins or bootstrap extensions extensively, Waterfox Classic version will be suitable for you. - -So, if you like Firefox, but want to try something different on the same line, this is a Firefox alternative for the job. - -### Features of Waterfox - -![Waterfox Current][8] - -Of course, technically, you should be able to do a lot of things that Mozilla Firefox supports. - -So, I’ll just highlight all the important features of Waterfox in a list here. - - * Supports NPAPI Plugins - * Supports Bootstrap Extensions - * Offers separate editions for legacy extension support and modern WebExtension support. - * Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, and macOS) - * Theme customization - * Archived Add-ons supported - - - -### Installing Waterfox on Ubuntu/Linux - -Unlike other popular browsers, you don’t get a package to install. So, you will have to download the archived package from its [official download page][9]. - -![][10] - -Depending on what edition (Current/Classic) you want – just download the file, which will be **.tar.bz2** extension file. - -Once downloaded, simply extract the file. - -Next, head on to the extracted folder and look for the “**Waterfox**” file. You can simply double-click on it to run start up the browser. - -If that doesn’t work, you can utilize the terminal and navigate to the extracted **Waterfox** folder. Once there, you can simply run it with a single command. Here’s how it looks like: - -``` -cd waterfox-classic -./waterfox -``` - -In either case, you can also head to its [GitHub page][11] and explore more options to get it installed on your system. - -[Download Waterfox][3] - -**Wrapping up** - -I fired it up on my Pop!_OS 19.10 installation and it worked really well for me. Though I don’t think I could switch from Firefox to Waterfox because I am not using any legacy add-on. It could still be an impressive option for certain users. - -You could give it a try and let me know your thoughts in the comments below. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -via: https://itsfoss.com/waterfox-browser/ - -作者：[Ankush Das][a] -选题：[lujun9972][b] -译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) -校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) - -本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 - -[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ -[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 -[1]: https://itsfoss.com/why-firefox/ -[2]: https://i2.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/waterfox-classic.png?fit=800%2C423&ssl=1 -[3]: https://www.waterfox.net/ -[4]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI -[5]: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Extension_Manager:Bootstrapped_Extensions -[6]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/waterfox-classic-screenshot.jpg?ssl=1 -[7]: https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions -[8]: https://i2.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/waterfox-screenshot.jpg?ssl=1 -[9]: https://www.waterfox.net/download/ -[10]: https://i1.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/waterfox-download-page.jpg?ssl=1 -[11]: https://github.com/MrAlex94/Waterfox diff --git a/translated/tech/20200219 Waterfox- Firefox Fork With Legacy Add-ons Options.md b/translated/tech/20200219 Waterfox- Firefox Fork With Legacy Add-ons Options.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..f2ee64763b --- /dev/null +++ b/translated/tech/20200219 Waterfox- Firefox Fork With Legacy Add-ons Options.md @@ -0,0 +1,106 @@ +[#]: collector: (lujun9972) +[#]: translator: (wxy) +[#]: reviewer: (wxy) +[#]: publisher: ( ) +[#]: url: ( ) +[#]: subject: (Waterfox: Firefox Fork With Legacy Add-ons Options) +[#]: via: (https://itsfoss.com/waterfox-browser/) +[#]: author: (Ankush Das https://itsfoss.com/author/ankush/) + +水狐：一个支持旧版扩展的火狐复刻版 +====== + +> 在本周的开源软件推荐中，我们将介绍一个基于 Firefox 的浏览器，该浏览器支持 Firefox 如今已不再支持的旧版扩展，同时尽可能地提供了快速的用户体验。 + +在 Web 浏览器方面，虽然谷歌浏览器已经占据了最大的市场份额，但 [Mozilla Firefox 仍然是关切隐私的主流 Web 浏览器的一面大旗][1]。 + +Firefox 最近有了很多改进，这些改进的副作用之一是它删除了旧版扩展附件add-on的支持。如果你最喜欢的扩展附件在最近几个月/几年内消失了，那么你可以以 Witerfox 的形式再次拥有它们。 + +> 注意！ +> +> 我们注意到，Waterfox 已被 System1 收购。该公司还收购了注重隐私的搜索引擎 Startpage。尽管 System1 声称他们提供注重隐私的产品，因为“这是刚需”，但我们不能对此担保。换句话说，这要取决于你是否信任 System1 和 Waterfox。 + +### Waterfox：一个基于 Firefox 的浏览器 + +![Waterfox Classic][2] + +[Waterfox][3] 是基于 Firefox 构建的一个好用的开源浏览器，它注重隐私并支持旧版扩展。它没有将自己定位为偏执于隐私的浏览器，但确实尊重这个基本的认知。 + +你可以得到两个单独的 Waterfox 浏览器版本。当前版旨在提供现代体验，而经典版则旨在支持 [NPAPI 插件][4] 和 [bootstrap 扩展][5]。 + +![Waterfox Classic][6] + +如果你不需要使用 bootstrap 扩展程序，而是需要 [WebExtensions][7]，则应该选择 Waterfox 当前版。 + +而如果你需要设置一个需要大量 NPAPI 插件或 Bootstrap 扩展的浏览器，则 Waterfox 经典版将非常适合你。 + +因此，如果你喜欢 Firefox，但想在同一阵营内尝试一些不同的体验，那么这个 Firefox 替代选择就是为此而生的。 + +### Waterfox 的功能 + +![Waterfox Current][8] + +当然，从技术上讲，你应该能够做 Mozilla Firefox 支持的许多操作。 + +因此，我将在此处的列表中突出显示 Waterfox 的所有重要功能。 + +* 支持 NPAPI 插件 +* 支持 Bootstrap 扩展 +* 分别提供了支持旧版本扩展和现代的 WebExtension 两个版本。 +* 跨平台支持（Windows、Linux 和 macOS） +* 主题定制 +* 支持已经归档的扩展 + +### 在 Ubuntu/Linux 上安装 Waterfox + +与其他流行的浏览器不同，它没有可以安装的软件包。因此，你将必须从其[官方下载页面][9]下载归档包。 + +![][10] + +根据你想要的版本（当前版/经典版），只需下载该文件，它是以 .tar.bz2 为扩展名的文件。 + +下载后，只需解压缩文件即可。 + +接下来，转到解压缩的文件夹并查找 `Waterfox` 文件。你只需双击它即可运行以启动浏览器。 + +如果这不起作用，则可以使用终端并导航到提取的 `Waterfox` 文件夹。到达那里后，你只需使用一个命令即可运行它。看起来如下： + +``` +cd waterfox-classic +./waterfox +``` + +无论是哪种情况，你都可以访问其 [GitHub 页面][11]以了解将其安装在系统上的更多方式。 + +- [下载 Waterfox][3] + +### 总结 + +我在我的 Pop!_OS 19.10 系统中启动了它，在我这里工作的很好。尽管我不准备从 Firefox 切换到 Waterfox，因为我没有使用任何旧版扩展附件。但对于某些用户来说，它可能是一个重要选择。 + +你可以尝试一下，在下面的评论中让我知道你的想法。 + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/waterfox-browser/ + +作者：[Ankush Das][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[wxy](https://github.com/wxy) +校对：[wxy](https://github.com/wxy) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/why-firefox/ +[2]: https://i2.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/waterfox-classic.png?fit=800%2C423&ssl=1 +[3]: https://www.waterfox.net/ +[4]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI +[5]: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Extension_Manager:Bootstrapped_Extensions +[6]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/waterfox-classic-screenshot.jpg?ssl=1 +[7]: https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions +[8]: https://i2.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/waterfox-screenshot.jpg?ssl=1 +[9]: https://www.waterfox.net/download/ +[10]: https://i1.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/waterfox-download-page.jpg?ssl=1 +[11]: https://github.com/MrAlex94/Waterfox
