【翻譯文章】Mozilla launches Facebook Container add-on to isolate your web browsing activity from Facebook

Mozilla was the first major brand to announce it was “pausing” its advertising on Facebook in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal. Today, the organization announced a new tool it said will help keep Facebook from tracking your browsing across the web.

在劍橋分析公司(Cambridge Analytica)的資料隱私醜聞之後，Mozilla是第一個宣佈它在Facebook上“暫停”廣告的主要品牌。今天，該組織宣佈了一項新工具，該工具將幫助Facebook追蹤你的流覽網頁。

The Facebook Container add-on for Firefox promises to make it “much harder” for Facebook to track you when you’re not on its site. Mozilla has been working on the technology for several years already, accelerating its development in response to what it called a “growing demand for tools that help manage privacy and security,” according to a statement issued by Mozilla today.

Firefox的Facebook容器外掛程式保證，當你在它的網站上時，Facebook很難追蹤你的"資訊"。根據Mozilla今天發佈的一份聲明，Mozilla已經對這項技術進行了多年的研究，開發的速度逐步加快，以應對它所稱的“對幫助管理隱私和安全的工具的日益增長的需求”。

Most people are probably aware that data they directly give to Facebook — such as “liking” a Page or updating their relationship status — may be sold to advertisers. But fewer people know that Facebook can also track their activities on other websites that have integrated with aspects of Facebook’s tracking technology, such as the pervasive “Like” button. And it’s in this scenario that Mozilla is now hoping to play the good guy.

大多數人可能意識到，他們直接給Facebook的資料——比如“喜歡”一個頁面或者更新他們的關係狀態——可能會被賣給廣告商。但更少的人知道，Facebook也可以追蹤他們在其他網站上的活動，這些網站整合了Facebook的追蹤技術，比如無處不在的“讚”按鈕。在這種情況下，Mozilla希望能扮演好這個角色。

The add-on, which can be installed through the usual means in Firefox, essentially “isolates” your Facebook profile from the rest of your web browsing, meaning you can use Facebook as usual without experiencing the off-site tracking part.

這個外掛程式可以通過Firefox的常規方式安裝，本質上是“隔離”你的Facebook個人頁，這意味著你可以像往常一樣使用Facebook，而不用離線防止追蹤。

How it works

如何運作

As its name suggests, the Facebook Container add-on is, well, a container — you access Facebook from within a little silo that is disconnected from the rest of your browser. When you install the extension in the first instance, all your existing Facebook cookies and data will be deleted.

顧名思義，Facebook的容器外掛程式是一個容器——你可以從一個 巨大的穀倉(silo) 裡進入Facebook，而這個巨大的穀倉(silo)與你的其他流覽器斷開連接。當你安裝完擴衝插件後，所有現有的Facebook cookie和資料都將被刪除。

When you next go to log in to Facebook, the site will load in a separate blue-colored tab, which serves as the “container.”

當你下次登錄Facebook的時候，網站將會載入一個單獨的藍色標籤，作為“容器”。

If you interact with a Facebook share button from within another Firefox tab it will load within the Facebook Container tab, but Facebook will know that you have interacted with that third-party website. It’s also worth noting here that Facebook comments and Like buttons on websites in other tabs won’t work, and you may also encounter problems if you try to log in to a website using your Facebook credentials on third-party websites.

如果你從另一個Firefox選項卡中與一個Facebook共用按鈕進行交互，它將載入Facebook的Container選項卡，但是Facebook會知道你已經和第三方的廠商網站進行了互動。同樣值得注意的是，Facebook的評論和其他選項卡上的按鈕不會起作用，如果你試圖登錄一個在第三方的廠商網站上使用你的Facebook，你可能也會遇到問題。

While it’s true that you can already browse privately in Firefox via a “private window,” doing so means that you will access all websites in that mode, not just Facebook. The add-on is purely about keeping Facebook from tracking you passively as you shift from website to website, though as noted it may “break” some Facebook Platform features that you have become accustomed to using on third-party sites. But hey, you can’t have it all ways.

雖然你確實可以通過“私人視窗”在Firefox中隱私瀏覽(應該類似無痕)，但這樣做意味著你仍進入過各種你點進的網站中，而不僅僅是Facebook。這款外掛程式純粹是為了讓Facebook不能全面的追蹤掌握你所有的瀏覽紀錄，你的隱私不會讓臉書全部知道，儘管它可能會“打破”一些你已經習慣了在第三方的廠商網站上使用的Facebook平臺功能。但是，你不可能有所有的方法。

Today’s announcement comes a month after Google rolled out a new filter within Chrome to block ads that don’t comply with standards set out by the Coalition for Better Ads. Last week, Mozilla announced its 2018 roadmap for Firefox, which also includes a blocker for “bad ads,” as well as other tools to prevent autoplaying video and provide breach alerts, something the company had previously tested.

今天的聲明是一個月前,谷歌推出了一個新的篩檢程式在Chrome阻止廣告不符合標準設定的廣告。上周,Mozilla Firefox宣佈其2018年的規劃,該公司之前測試的像是一個攔截器”壞廣告”,以及其他工具來防止播放視頻和提供違約警報。

The Facebook Container add-on fits into that broader scheme of things, insofar as Mozilla wants to position Firefox as a privacy- and security-focused browser. And what better way to capitalize on Facebook’s current privacy scandal than by launching an add-on that promises to keep the company from tracking you?

Facebook的“容器附加元件”符合這一更廣泛的計畫，因為Mozilla希望將Firefox定位為隱私和安全的流覽器。還有什麼更好的方法來利用Facebook目前的隱私醜聞，推出一款可以不讓臉書跟蹤你的瀏覽器外掛呢?

“There’s an important conversation going on right now about the power that companies like Facebook wield over our lives,” Firefox VP Nick Nguyen said in a blog post. “These businesses are built on technology platforms that are so complex, it’s unreasonable to expect users to fully understand the implications of interacting with them. As a user of the internet, you deserve a voice and should be able to use the internet on your own terms.”

火狐副總裁Nick Nguyen在一篇貼文中說:“現在有一場重要的對話正在進行，關於像是Facebook這樣的公司對我們的生活有什麼影響。”“這些事業是建立在複雜的技術平臺之上的，指望用戶完全理解與他們互動的影響是不合理的。”作為一名網路使用者，你應該有發言權，能夠按照自己的方式使用網路。
