Hang on to your Firefox!
抓紧你的 Firefox！
“Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.”
"不要因噎废食。"
According to Wikipedia, it’s an adage that goes back to 1512 in Germany. People have known for hundreds of years that you should be careful not to throw out a good and vital thing in your zeal to get rid of a minor annoyance.
据维基百科记载，这是一句源自1512年德国的谚语。数百年来，人们就知道在急于摆脱小麻烦时，要小心别把重要且有益的东西也一起扔掉了。
I think about this when I see people dumping on Firefox.
当我看到有人抨击 Firefox 时，我就会想到这一点。
The latest was a post from a prolific blogger who has switched to Vivaldi because Firefox is now on X. He is somehow able to reconcile this with the fact that Vivaldi is also on X — not to mention Meta’s Threads, Facebook and Instagram, along with Google’s YouTube.
最近，一位多产的博主发文称，因为 Firefox 现在加入了 X（原推特），所以他转投 Vivaldi。然而，他不知何故能将这一行为与 Vivaldi 同样加入 X 的事实调和一致——更不用说 Meta 的 Threads、Facebook 和 Instagram，以及 Google 的 YouTube 了。
Meanwhile, the over thinkers on Hacker News come up with convoluted reasons to hate on Firefox every time the subject arises. It makes me wonder if it’s a bot campaign by Google — except, why would they bother?
与此同时，Hacker News 上那些过度思考者每次提到这个话题时，都会想出各种复杂的理由来诋毁 Firefox。这让我怀疑这是否是 Google 发起的机器人水军行动——不过，他们何必费心呢？
Firefox is our last best hope for browser engine diversity and competition. Without it we would be stuck with Google Chrome and its spinoffs everywhere (including Vivaldi). The only holdout would be Apple Safari, hanging in there only because it’s the enforced default on iPhones.
Firefox 是我们维持浏览器引擎多样性和竞争的最后一道最佳防线。如果没有它，我们将被困在 Google Chrome 及其衍生产品无处不在的局面中（包括 Vivaldi）。唯一的例外是 Apple Safari，它之所以能勉强维持，仅仅是因为它在 iPhone 上是强制性的默认浏览器。
I’m sure the reason Firefox is on X is because they’re hoping to reach out to new users. Considering their small and diminishing market share worldwide, they desperately need to reach out wherever they can.
我确信 Firefox 加入 X 是因为他们希望接触新用户。考虑到其在全球范围内微小且不断萎缩的市场份额，他们迫切需要在任何可能的地方拓展用户群。
And you desperately need to help them.
而你迫切需要帮助他们。
