5 reasons to switch to Firefox right now
|
||||
======
|
||||
Version 0.1 of Mozilla Firefox was released 19 years ago.
|
||||
![red panda][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Mozilla Firefox was one of the applications that opened my eyes to open source. It wasn't by any means the tipping point, but it was part of a larger cumulative effect of several open source applications grabbing my attention, which ultimately resulted in me switching to Linux, and never looking back. Since switching to Firefox, which occurred well before I consciously changed to open source, I've been an avid Firefox user. My mobile phone was a Firefox OS mobile phone, and it was until the project was abandoned. Interestingly, though, I didn't necessarily consider myself a Firefox _fan_. I used it then and continue to use it today because it continues to be the best browser available in many different ways. Here are five reasons you should [switch to Firefox][2] right now.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1\. Firefox is focused on privacy
|
||||
|
||||
The maintainer of Firefox is the [Mozilla foundation][3], a non-profit organization not motivated at all by your personal data. Mozilla doesn't care about what you search for, what websites you visit, or how much time you spend on the web. That's just not Mozilla's business model, but it is expressly the business model of many other popular browsers.
|
||||
|
||||
Even if you don't object to a browser tracking your activities for privacy reasons, you may have had the experience of making that one-time purchase of an unusual gift, only to have every site you visit try to sell you that item for the rest of your life. The Internet is big, so it sometimes seems like a good idea to restructure it based on users' interests. I admit that if all of my searches could have "open source" appended to them, it would probably provide more relevant results. But then again, I'd rather opt in to that kind of optimization rather than have it, along with many other unknowns, being decided for me, outside my control.
|
||||
|
||||
![Privacy in Firefox][4]
|

|

Privacy in Firefox (Seth Kenlon, CC BY-SA 4.0)
|
||||
|
||||
Mozilla has this policy: [Take less. Keep it safe. No secrets.][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Never one to stop short, Firefox also offers account [monitoring][6], an optional service from Mozilla that alerts you if any of your online accounts become compromised through a large-scale data breach. Additionally, Mozilla offers a paid VPN service using open source Wireguard software so you can browse safely from anywhere.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2\. Firefox can use containers
|
||||
|
||||
It may be hard to believe, but there was a time when leading web browsers did not feature tabs. In the late 90s and early 00s, when you wanted to visit two web pages simultaneously, you had to open two separate browser windows. Firefox (and the Mozilla browser before it) was an early adopter of the tabbed interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Tabs are expected in browsers now, but through Firefox's extensions, there's been an interesting new twist on the power of the tabbed interface. Developed by Mozilla itself, the [Firefox Multi-Account Containers plugin][7] can turn each tab into an isolated "container" within your browser.
|
||||
|
||||
![Containerized tabs in Firefox][8]
|
||||
|
||||
Containerized tabs in Firefox (Seth Kenlon, CC BY-SA 4.0)
|
||||
|
||||
For instance, say your employer uses Google Apps, but you don't trust Google with your personal information. You can use the Multi-Account Containers plugin to isolate your work activities so that Google touches only your professional life and has no access to any other part of your life.
|
||||
|
||||
You can even open the same site with two different accounts, and as a bonus, the tabs are color-coded, so it's useful whether you're looking to isolate sites or just add new visual cues to your browser.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3\. Firefox user interface design
|
||||
|
||||
As much as we humans tend to get excited about new things, there's just as much comfort to be found in something familiar and reliable. Firefox has updated its interface over the years, and it's had its fair share of innovations that are now unofficial industry standards, but overall it has remained very much the same. Its user interface retains all the standard conventions you already take for granted.
|
||||
|
||||
When you download a file, you're prompted for how you want Firefox to handle the file. At your option, you can open the file in an appropriate application or save it to your hard drive. You can prompt Firefox to remember your choices for the future or have it continue to prompt you.
|
||||
|
||||
![Firefox user interface][9]
|
||||
|
||||
Firefox user interface (Seth Kenlon, CC BY-SA 4.0)
|
||||
|
||||
When you need an application menu, you can find it in a modern-style "hamburger" menu, or else you can press the **Alt** key to show a traditional menu along the top of the Firefox window.
|
||||
|
||||
Everything in Firefox is familiar, whether you're a long-time user of Firefox or not because it builds on years of user interface design. Where it can innovate, it does, but where it's counter-productive to change something intuitive, it refrains.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4\. Developer tools in Firefox
|
||||
|
||||
Back in the early days of the world wide web, you could navigate to any website and view the source code. There was a high chance of learning HTML just from doing this a few times. Everything was open, transparent, obvious, and relatively straightforward.
|
||||
|
||||
The Internet has evolved into a powerful [cloud-based supercomputer][10], and extracting meaningful context from a website now sometimes requires more than just a text dump of its underlying markup. To ensure everyone can reverse engineer (and engineer) how a website functions, Firefox incorporates a set of powerful development tools into the browser.
|
||||
|
||||
![Developer tools][11]

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Although this was a Firefox-based innovation originally (by [Firebug][12] back in 2006), many browsers have a devtools feature now. Not all devtools are equal, though, and it's Firefox's developer panels that make Firefox my go-to browser for web design and UX testing.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5\. Firefox is open source
|
||||
|
||||
Most importantly, Firefox is fully open source. It's an excellent browser with nothing to hide. It's got no ulterior motive aside from keeping the web open, educating people about the Internet, and promoting open source solutions to everyday tasks.

||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You can contribute to Firefox. You can file bugs about things that you don't like. You can see the code you run when you interface with the Internet. Firefox has taken a stand for the open web for decades. It's stayed true to its principles and arguably has forced the hand of several competitors who probably wouldn't have chosen to go open source if Firefox hadn't set the public's expectations.
|
||||
|
||||
Firefox is a powerful force on the modern Internet, and it's a great browser. Firefox runs on your desktop and mobile devices, so do yourself a favor and [get Firefox][14].

现在切换到Firefox的5个理由
|
||||
======
|
||||
19 年前,Mozilla Firefox 的 0.1 版发布。
|
||||
![小熊猫][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Mozilla Firefox 是一个让我对开源大开眼界应用程序。这绝不是转折点,但几个开源应用程序逐渐吸引我注意力,这是累积效应的的一小部分。并且这最终导致我转向Linux,并且从未回头。自从切换到Firefox(这发生在我有意识地转向开源之前)以来,我一直是一个狂热的Firefox用户。我的手机一直是Firefox OS的手机,直到这个项目被放弃。不过,有趣的是,我并不特别地认为自己是Firefox的 _粉丝_ 。我从那时到现在一直使用Firefox,是因为它仍然是从不同方面来说的最佳的浏览器。接下来是您应该立即[切换到Firefox][2]的五个原因。
|
||||
|
||||
### 1\. Firefox专注隐私
|
||||
|
||||
Firefox的维护者是[Mozilla基金会][3],一个完全不受您的个人数据影响的非营利组织。Mozilla不关心你搜索的内容、访问的网站或你网站上使用的时间。这符合Mozilla的商业模式,但它显然是许多其他流行浏览器的商业模式。
|
||||
|
||||
即使您不反对浏览器以隐私为由跟踪您的活动,您可能也曾有过这样的经历:只是一次性购买不寻常礼物,但就导致您访问的每个网站都试图向您出售该物品。互联网很大,所以有时根据用户的兴趣来重组它似乎是一个好主意。我承认,如果我所有的搜索都可以附加"开源代码",它可能会提供更相关的结果。但话又说回来,我宁愿选择这种优化,而不是让它以及许多其他未知因素一起,在我的控制之外为我做出决定。
|
||||
|
||||
![Firefox中的隐私][4]
|
||||
|
||||
Firefox中的隐私 (Seth Kenlon, CC BY-SA 4.0)
|
||||
|
||||
Mozilla的政策: [少取,安全,没有秘密。][5]
|
||||
|
||||
我们从未停下。Firefox还提供了帐户[监控][6],这是Mozilla的一项可选服务,如果您的任何在线帐户因大规模数据泄露而受到损害,Mozilla则会告知您。另外,Mozilla使用开源软件Wireguard提供付费VPN服务,因此无论何时何地您都可以安全浏览。
|
||||
|
||||
### 2\. Firefox能使用容器
|
||||
|
||||
很难相信的是,曾经有一段时间领先的浏览器没有标签页功能。在90年代末和00年代初,当您想同时访问两个网页时,您必须打开两个单独的浏览器窗口。Firefox(以及之前的Mozilla浏览器)是标签页界面的早期使用者。
|
||||
|
||||
标签页是现在浏览器的标配,但是通过Firefox的扩展,选项卡式界面的功能有了有趣的新变化。[Firefox多帐户容器插件][7]由 Mozilla 自己开发,可以将每个标签页变成浏览器中隔离的"容器"。
|
||||
|
||||
![Firefox中的容器化标签页][8]
|
||||
|
||||
Firefox中的容器化标签页 (Seth Kenlon, CC BY-SA 4.0)
|
||||
|
||||
例如,假设您的雇主使用Google Apps,但您信不过Google处理您的个人信息。您可以使用多账户容器插件来隔离您的工作活动,以便Google仅触及您的职业信息,而无法访问您生活的任何其他部分。
|
||||
|
||||
您甚至可以使用两个不同的帐户打开同一个网站,并且作为提示,选项卡是颜色编码的。因此无论您是要隔离网站还是只是在浏览器中添加新的视觉提示,这都很有帮助。
|
||||
|
||||
### 3\. Firefox用户界面设计
|
||||
|
||||
尽管我们作为人类更可能对新事物感到高兴,但在熟悉又可靠的东西中我们能找到更多的舒适感。多年以来,Firefox更新其界面,并且拥有了相当多的创新,而这些创新现在是非官方的行业标准。但就总的来说,它一直保持不变。Firefox的用户界面保留了您认为理所当然的所有标准惯例。
|
||||
|
||||
当您下载文件时,系统会提示您选择让Firefox如何处理该文件。根据你的选择,您可以在适当的应用程序中打开文件或将其保存到硬盘驱动器。您可以选择让Firefox记住您的选择并作为您未来的选择,或者让它继续提示您。
|
||||
|
||||
![Firefox用户界面设计][9]
|
||||
|
||||
Firefox用户界面设计 (Seth Kenlon, CC BY-SA 4.0)
|
||||
|
||||
当您需要应用程序菜单时,可以在现代的"汉堡包式"的菜单中找到它,或者您可以按**Alt**键在Firefox的窗口顶部显示传统菜单。
|
||||
|
||||
无论你是否是 Firefox 的长期用户,Firefox 中的一切都看起来很熟悉,因为它建立在多年的用户界面设计之上。在它可以创新的地方,它就会去创新,但是如果这些创新会违反直觉,它就会废弃这种创新。
|
||||
|
||||
### 4\. Firefox的开发者工具
|
||||
|
||||
回溯到万维网的早期,您可以浏览到任何网站并查看其源代码。仅仅通过几次这样做就很有可能学习到HTML的知识。一切都是公开的,透明的,显而易见的,而且相对直白的。
|
||||
|
||||
互联网已经逐渐演变成为一个强大的[基于云的超级计算机][10],现在从网站中提取有意义的上下文有时需要的不仅仅是其底层标记的文本转储。为了确保每个人都可以对网站的功能进行逆向工程(和工程),Firefox在浏览器中集成了一套功能强大的开发工具。
|
||||
|
||||
![开发者工具][11]
|
||||
|
||||
开发者工具 (Seth Kenlon, CC BY-SA 4.0)
|
||||
|
||||
虽然这最初是基于Firefox的创新(由[Firebug][12]在2006年推出),但现在许多浏览器都有devtools(Developer tools,开发者工具(译者注))功能。然而,并非所有的devtools都是相同的,正是Firefox的开发者面板使Firefox成为我进行网页设计和UX测试的首选浏览器。
|
||||
|
||||
### 5\. Firefox是开源的
|
||||
|
||||
最为重要的是,Firefox是完全开源的。这是一个的优秀浏览器,并且对你没有任何隐藏。除了保持互联网开放,教育人们有关互联网的事务,并为日常工作推广开源解决方案之外,它没有别有用心的动机。
|
||||
|
||||
![Firefox是开源的][13]
|
||||
|
||||
Firefox 是开源的 (Seth Kenlon, CC BY-SA 4.0)
|
||||
|
||||
你可以为Firefox做贡献。您可以向我们提交有关您不喜欢的内容的错误。您可以看到与互联网交互时运行的代码。几十年来,Firefox 一直在支持开放的互联网。它忠于其自身的原则,并且可以说已经迫使几个竞争对手走向开源。如果Firefox没有抬高公众的期望,他们可能不会选择开源。
|
||||
|
||||
Firefox是现代互联网上的具有影响力的力量,它是一款优秀的浏览器。Firefox 可以在您的桌面和移动设备上运行,因此帮自己一个小忙吧,[获取 Firefox][14]。
