为什么我又回到火狐浏览器
======
> 火狐可以说是最好的开源网页浏览器。但是,是什么让它这么好?它对每个人来说都是一个可行的选择吗?让我来分享我的见解。
![](https://img.linux.net.cn/data/attachment/album/202202/26/193517szbff3zjlg305jbp.jpg)
火狐是一个神奇的开源网页浏览器。它预装在大多数 Linux 发行版中,无需多想,可以认为它是 Linux 用户和隐私爱好者的一个流行选择。
然而,没有什么是完美的。
无论是火狐、Chrome、Brave还是任何一个 [可用于 Linux 的最佳浏览器][1],每个选择都有权衡。
我使用火狐浏览器已经很多年了,但最近我因为标签管理功能转而使用了 [Vivaldi][2],然后也尝试了一下 Brave。
但是,在这段时间里,我发现自己一再回到火狐浏览器,并一直想回来,虽然我对另一个网页浏览器也很满意(就当是一种回忆吧)。
那么,为什么我总是回到火狐浏览器?为什么我认为火狐是适合每个人的理想网页浏览器?
在这里,让我强调一些要点:
### 1、以隐私为重点的解决方案
![][3]
如今,每个网页浏览器(当然,除了谷歌浏览器)都旨在提供面向隐私的功能。
使用 Brave甚至使用 Vivaldi你有各种各样的选择。
请注意,这不是一个功能比较,而是基于我喜欢、注意到的东西。
Brave 可以让你自定义跟踪保护,但它不提供预设配置。你得自己调整拦截保护措施以获得你想要的体验。但是,火狐浏览器可以让你轻松地选择“标准”或“严格”保护模式,而不需要定制个人设置。
说到 Vivaldi它提供了快速切换跟踪保护类型的能力但它没有火狐那么好。此外你没有诸如跨站 Cookie 阻止、以及针对加密矿工、指纹探针的保护。
除了这些细微的差别,火狐还不断为其隐私保护产品增加新的功能。
例如HTTPS-Only 模式让你无需任何扩展/插件,就可以确保你连接到一个页面的 HTTPS 版本。
### 2、简化的用户界面
![][4]
我知道我抱怨过很多次火狐不断改造其用户界面。
没错,这不是很令人愉快。
但是,每当我习惯了它,我发现它是一个简单而有效的用户界面。我更喜欢启用它的深色主题。
最近的更新使它更容易访问选项、附加组件、主题等。
就个人而言,感觉它比其他浏览器更好。
希望他们不要继续他们的传统,每次重大升级都破坏用户体验。
### 3、开源
火狐是一个开源的网页浏览器。你已经知道了,但这正是它比 Chrome 等专有选项更出色的原因。
火狐浏览器是我几年前离开谷歌浏览器后尝试的第一个开源网页浏览器。
### 4、火狐多账户容器
![][5]
[火狐多账户容器][6] 是火狐的主要亮点之一。
如果你想在不损害隐私的情况下充分提升你的浏览体验,它是 [最佳火狐功能][7] 之一。
你需要安装 [火狐多账户插件][8] 才能开始使用它。
该功能可以让你打开相互隔离的几个浏览标签。例如,你可以使用该功能保持登录到同一服务的两个不同账户。你可以将它们分成个人、工作、银行等等几个分类。
你可以选择创建一个新的容器或将你当前的标签作为一个容器打开。也可以自动设置网站在新的容器中打开。
为了更上一层楼,火狐最近增加了为容器启用 Mozilla VPN 的功能。这样,你就可以单独保障你的浏览过程,而不需要为其余的非容器标签启用 VPN。
虽然这可能不适合每个人,但这是一个有用的功能。
### 5、集成的服务
![][9]
拥有有助于提高用户体验的内置功能和服务总是很方便。
使用火狐浏览器,你可以快速访问各种有用的工具。
这些工具包括:
* 地址栏中的“保存到 Pocket”按钮可以快速添加一个网页/链接,以便以后阅读。
* Mozilla 的 [VPN 服务][10]。
* [Firefox Relay][11] 以保护你的原始电子邮件地址。
* [Firefox Monitor][12] 以通知你数据泄露的情况。
* 如果你使用的话,还有密码管理器。
### 6、积极开发
随着每一次火狐浏览器的发布,你会发现一些有价值的升级和改进。
当然,你对每个主要的网页浏览器都可以抱有同样的期望。但是,如果你使用的是一个不太知名的浏览器的功能,你可能想留意一下更新/开发的频率。
为了获得安全的体验,尽快进行安全修复、错误修复和其他改进是很重要的。
### 7、运作良好
![][13]
就我而言,我更喜欢方便,而不是最新和最大的。
尽管火狐浏览器设法提供一些行业首创的功能,它仍然是一个方便的选择。
拥有一个同步你所有浏览数据和集成的服务的火狐账户是很有好处的。你可以轻松地在任何其他设备上登录该账户,无缝地继续你的工作。
使用 Brave你确实也有同步功能但它的工作方式不一样。它要求你必须有主设备在场才能成功地将数据同步到另一个设备上你要扫描二维码。另外你也可以选择生成同步代码并将其随身携带以便与新设备同步。但是我觉得基于账户的同步更方便。
虽然 Vivaldi 提供了账户同步功能,但它在我的多显示器环境中并不工作,按钮变得没有反应,而且在 [Vivaldi 5.1 版][14] 之后,我也没能成功同步。
所以,火狐成为一个轻松便捷的选择。
### 8、打破浏览器垄断
去年,我们报道了 [火狐浏览器失去了近 5000 万用户][15],这让那些一直喜欢不基于 Chromium 的可靠产品的用户非常担心。
从技术上讲,我们确实有火狐的复刻和其他一些 [开源浏览器][16]。但是,我们需要火狐保持其地位,以便有一个可行的 Chromium 替代品。
### 总结
我应该提到,我坚持使用火狐是因为它适合我的使用情况和工作流程。
你不需要相信我的话。但是,至少,如果你从来没有考虑过这些使用火狐的好处,你可能该试一试!
你对火狐有什么看法?可以告诉我们你最喜欢的浏览器吗?让我们在下面的评论中讨论。

8 Reasons Why I Keep Coming Back to Firefox
======
Firefox is a fantastic open-source web browser. Considering it comes pre-installed with most Linux distributions, it does not take rocket science to assume that it is a popular choice among Linux users and privacy enthusiasts.
However, nothing is ever perfect.
Whether it is Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Brave, or any of the [best browsers available for Linux][1]. Every option has a trade-off.
I have been using Firefox for years now, but I recently switched to [Vivaldi][2] for its tab management feature and then tried Brave for a moment as well.
But, all this time, I found myself constantly going back to Firefox and thinking about it all the time, while I was happy with another web browser (consider it to be a meme).
So, why do I keep coming back to Firefox? Why do I think Mozilla Firefox is an ideal web browser for everyone?
Here, let me highlight some pointers:
### 1\. Privacy-Focused Solution
![][3]
Nowadays, every web browser (of course, except Google Chrome) aims to provide privacy-oriented features.
You will get a variety of options with Brave, and even with Vivaldi.
Note that this isnt a feature comparison, but based on what I prefer/noticed.
Brave lets you customize the tracking protection, but it does not offer a preset. You will find yourself tweaking the blocking protections to get the experience you want. But, Firefox lets you easily choose a “Standard” or “Strict” protection mode without needing to customize individual settings.
When it comes to Vivaldi, it offers the ability to switch the type of tracking protection quickly, but it is not as good as Firefox. Furthermore, you do not get things like cross-site cookie blocking, and protection against cryptominers/fingerprinters.
In addition to these subtle differences, Firefox keeps adding new options to its privacy protection offering.
For instance, the HTTPS-Only mode eliminates the need for any extensions/add-ons that ensure that you connect to the HTTPS version of a page.
### 2\. Simplified User Interface
![][4]
I know that I have complained a lot about Firefox constantly revamping its user interface.
And, yes, that isnt very pleasant.
But, every time I get used to it, I find it a simple and effective user interface. I prefer to enable the dark theme.
The recent updates have made it easier to access options, add-ons, themes, and more.
Personally, it feels better than other browsers.
Heres to hoping that they do not continue their tradition of breaking the user experience with every major upgrade.
### 3\. Open Source
Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser. You already know it, but that is what makes it an outstanding choice over proprietary options like Chrome.
Firefox is the first open-source web browser I tried after moving away from Google Chrome several years ago.
### 4\. Firefox Multi-Account Containers
![][5]
[Firefox Multi-Account Containers][6] is one of the key highlights of Mozilla Firefox.
It is one of the [best Firefox features][7] if you want to make the most out of your browsing experience without compromising privacy.
You need to install the [Firefox Multi-Account add-on][8] to get started with it.
The feature lets you open different browsing tabs isolated from each other. For instance, you can stay logged to two different accounts of the same service using this feature. You have available categories that include Personal, Work, Bank, and more.
You can choose to create a new container or open your current tab as a container. It is also possible to automatically set a website to open in a new container.
To take things up a notch, Firefox recently added the ability to enable Mozilla VPN for containers. This way, you can separately secure your browsing experience without enabling the VPN for the rest of the non-container tabs.
While this may not be for everyone, it is a helpful feature.
### 5\. Integrated Services
![][9]
It is always convenient to have built-in features and services that help enhance the user experience.
With Firefox, you get various useful tools that you can access quickly.
The tools include:
* Save to Pocket button in the address bar to quickly add a webpage/link to read later.
* Mozillas [VPN service][10].
* [Firefox Relay][11] to protect your original email address.
* [Firefox Monitor][12] to notify you of data breaches.
* And, the password manager, if you use it.
### 6\. Active Development
With every Firefox release, you find some valuable upgrades and improvements.
Of course, you should expect the same with every major web browser. But, if you are using a less-known browser for its features, you might want to keep an eye on the frequency of updates/development.
It is important to have security fixes, bug fixes, and other improvements as soon as possible for a secure experience.
### 7\. Just Works!
![][13]
In my case, I prefer convenience over the latest and greatest.
Even though Firefox manages to offer some industry-first features, it remains a convenient option.
Having a Firefox account synced to all your browsing data and integrated services is beneficial. You can easily log in to the account on any other device to seamlessly continue your work.
With Brave, you do have the sync feature, but it does not work the same way. It requires you to have the primary device present to successfully sync the data to another device (considering youre scanning the QR code).
Alternatively, you can choose to generate the sync code and keep it with you to sync with a new device But, I find the account-based sync more convenient.
While Vivaldi offers the account-sync feature, it does not work well with my multi-monitor setup. The buttons become unresponsive, and I also fail to successfully sync after [Vivaldi 5.1 release][14].
So, Firefox becomes a hassle-free and convenient option.
### 8\. Fight Against Browser Monopoly
Last year, we reported that [Firefox lost almost 50 million users][15], making it a big concern for users who still prefer a solid offering not based on Chromium.
Technically, we do have Firefox forks and a few other [open-source browsers][16]. But, we need Firefox to hold its position to have a viable Chromium alternative.
### Wrapping Up
I should mention that I stick to Firefox because it fits my use-case and workflow.
You dont have to take my word for it. But, at least, if you never considered these as benefits of using Firefox, you might want to give it a try!
