Mozilla Firefox 是一款极棒的开源多平台浏览器，一直以来都以提供最佳的隐私保护功能而广受好评。


更值得一提的是，它成为了大多数 Linux 发行版的默认浏览器，使得它成为了 Linux 用户的自然之选。


### Firefox 当前的状况


尽管 Firefox 一直以隐私优先的策略，并且是 [谷歌 Chrome 的最佳开源替代品](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-browsers-linux/) 之一，它仍然被大众所冷落。


这听起来令人失望，不是吗？


的确是的，就以市场份额来说，谷歌 Chrome 占据了 **63.56%**，而 Firefox 用户仅占据了 **2.94%** —— 这是来自 [StatCounter](https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share) 的统计数据。

为什么会这样？


详细来说，你可以回顾一下 [Firefox 在 2021 年几乎损失了 5000 万用户](/article-13642-1.html)。


简而言之：**Mozilla Firefox 已经尽其所能，但似乎仍然不足以吸引公众的注意**。


### Firefox 的用户体验在不断改善


幸运的是，在过去的两年中，Mozilla Firefox 似乎专注于一步步提升用户体验，并比平常更多地向公众展示自己。


例如，他们正在为 Firefox 117 提供 [自动翻译功能支持](https://news.itsfoss.com/firefox-117-release/)。


总的来说，最近的更新已经简化了用户界面，并为 [我为什么总是会回到 Firefox](https://news.itsfoss.com/why-mozilla-firefox/) 提供了更多理由。


当然，Firefox 已经提供了 [Firefox Relay](https://relay.firefox.com/)（[保护你电子邮箱的工具](https://itsfoss.com/protect-email-address/) 之一）等隐私特性。但是，并非每个用户都在乎那些改善了安全性的底层优化。


许多用户希望能够通过网页浏览器无缝的使用他们喜爱的网络服务。**这无疑是用户体验的核心部分。**


Mozilla Firefox 就是一款能提供这一体验的强大且安全的浏览器。


如果浏览器能满足网民使用他们**最喜欢或是主流服务**的体验需求，那么 Firefox 就能保留旗下用户，甚至吸引更多新用户。


### 谷歌的网络服务在 Firefox 上运行得比以前更好了


好消息是：**Mozilla 正在全力以赴做出改变！**


在最近的 [博客文章](https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/google-meet-firefox/) 中，他们宣布，**谷歌 Meet 以及其他谷歌服务如 Workspace、Voice、YouTube、Keep、地图、翻译以及相册** 在 Firefox 上运行得比以往任何时候都要好。


![](/data/attachment/album/202310/03/001921tmm6gvh8h71vvv7v.png)


他们为此与谷歌的 Workspace 团队一直保持着紧密的合作，他们这样写道：



> 
> 如果你正在考虑切换，但担心兼容性问题，你可以放心 —— 谷歌的服务在 Firefox 上工作得相当出色，我们也在不断的努力满足你的日新月异的需求。
> 
> 
> 


他们还分享了谷歌 Meet 在 Firefox 上改善后的一些使用体验截图。现在，只需使用 Firefox 115 和更高版本，你就可以在加入视频通话前后应用视效（或背景）。


![](/data/attachment/album/202310/03/001921mir899tigg8r0m9t.jpg)


许多网络用户都一直在使用谷歌的服务，如果他们在 Firefox 上的用户体验也很棒，那么 Firefox 就可能成为一个适合他们替代 Chrome 的选择。


**所以，谷歌的网络服务在 Firefox 上的体验得到了改进？**


**这又是一个使用 Firefox 的理由。**


我认为，Mozilla 为了与谷歌 Chrome 及其他竞方保持竞争力，并增强用户对流行网络服务的网络体验，这么做是明智之举。

Mozilla Firefox is a fantastic open-source cross-platform browser with a proven track record of offering you the best privacy-focused features.

Not to forget, it comes baked in as the default with most Linux distributions, making it an obvious go-to web browser for Linux users.

## Firefox's Current State

Despite its privacy-first approach, and being one of the [best open-source alternatives to Google Chrome](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-browsers-linux/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), it is not the most preferred web browser.

Sounds disappointing, right?

Well, it is.

Google Chrome has a **63.56%** market share, compared to **2.94%** occupied by Firefox users—as per [StatCounter](https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

![browser stats](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/browser-stat-.png)

Why is it the case?

Well, if you want to get into the details, you might want to recall that [Firefox lost almost 50 million users](https://news.itsfoss.com/firefox-decline/) in 2021.

If you would rather not read everything about it: **Mozilla Firefox has been doing everything it can, with not enough things to attract the masses.**

## Firefox's User Experience is Improving

Fortunately, in the past two years, Mozilla Firefox seems to be focusing on improving the usability, one step at a time, and presenting itself to the masses than usual.

For instance, working towards an [automated translated feature support in Firefox 117](https://news.itsfoss.com/firefox-117-release/).

Overall, the recent updates have simplified the user interface and add to the [reasons why I keep coming back to Firefox](https://news.itsfoss.com/why-mozilla-firefox/) whenever I try to switch.

Sure, the privacy features like [Firefox Relay](https://relay.firefox.com/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) (*one of the tools to protect your email*) are needed along with it. But, not every user cares about the under-the-hood improvements that make the experience safer.

Most of the users want their favorite web services to be accessible seamlessly via the web browser. **That is the biggest part of the user experience.**

Undoubtedly, Mozilla Firefox is a capable and secure browser to give you that.

If the browser nails the user experience for the netizens using their **favorite or mainstream services**, it will help Firefox retain its users and gain new ones.

## Google's Web Services Work Better Than Ever on Firefox

And, the good news? **Mozilla is working more on that now!**

In a recent [blog post](https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/google-meet-firefox/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), they announced that **Google Meet and other Google services like Workspace, Voice, YouTube, Keep, Maps, Translate, and Photos** will work better than ever on Firefox.

![gmail on firefox](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/firefox-screenshot.png)

To achieve this, **Mozilla has been collaborating with the Google's Workspace team for a while now**.

Here's what they mention:

So if you’re considering a switch but have had concerns with compatibility, you can be confident that Google services work great with Firefox — and that we’re always working on meeting your ever-changing needs.

To give us an example, they shared screenshots of the improved experience with Google Meet. You can now apply visual effects (or background) to your video feed before or after joining the call on Firefox 115 or above.

![google meet screenshot](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/google-meet-screenshot.jpg)

A major chunk of web users utilize Google services, and if they get a great user experience on Firefox, it can be a suitable alternative to Chrome for them.

**So, improved Google web services experience on Firefox? **

**Another reason to use Firefox.**

I think this is a good move from Mozilla to improve the web experience of popular web services to keep up with Google Chrome and any other competing browsers.
