我找到了新的首选浏览器

Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 129, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you’re new here, welcome, come on you Gunners, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.) 朋友们，大家好！欢迎来到第 129 期《Installer》，这是你探索全球最棒、最“Verge”风格事物的指南。（如果你是新朋友，欢迎加入，也欢迎前往《Installer》主页阅读往期内容。）

This week, I’ve mostly been sick, which has meant nearly a full rewatch of Parks and Recreation while alternately napping and feeling bad for myself. But I’ve also been reading about Nick Fuentes and clowns, listening to old episodes of Short History Of, testing the NextSense Smartbuds while I sleep, writing in the Outerline Markdown app beta, and eagerly looking for things to do with the upcoming Flipper One. 这周我大部分时间都在生病，这意味着我几乎重温了整部《公园与游憩》，期间穿插着小睡和自怜自艾。不过，我也读了关于尼克·富恩特斯（Nick Fuentes）和小丑的内容，听了《Short History Of》的旧集，在睡眠时测试了 NextSense Smartbuds，在 Outerline Markdown 应用测试版中进行写作，并热切地期待着即将推出的 Flipper One 能带来什么新玩法。

Today’s issue is a little short since I’ve been out, but I didn’t want to leave you completely hanging. Plus, it’s a good week, including my favorite new browser in years, a new Star Wars movie, two great new tech books, a surprisingly great set of earbuds, and more. Let’s do it. 由于我休假在外，今天的文章篇幅较短，但我不想让大家空手而归。况且，这周有很多好东西，包括我多年来最喜欢的新浏览器、一部新的《星球大战》电影、两本很棒的科技新书、一副令人惊喜的耳机等等。让我们开始吧。

本周推荐

Vivaldi 8.0. For the first time in five years or so, I have a new default browser on all my devices. (RIP Arc.) I’ve liked Vivaldi for a long time — it is very fast, incredibly customizable, and full of clever organizational tools — but I’ve always just found it irredeemably ugly to look at. The new design is much cleaner out of the box, to the point I’m fully happy using it all the time. You should budget a long time to spend in settings getting Vivaldi tweaked to your liking, but this browser’s a winner. Vivaldi 8.0。 大约五年来，我第一次在所有设备上更换了默认浏览器。（再见，Arc。）我喜欢 Vivaldi 很久了——它速度极快，自定义程度极高，且充满了巧妙的组织工具——但我一直觉得它的外观实在太丑了。新版本的设计开箱即用，简洁了许多，以至于我现在非常乐意一直使用它。你可能需要花点时间在设置里将 Vivaldi 调整到你喜欢的样子，但这款浏览器绝对是赢家。

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. The reviews for this are a bit all over the place, as they always seem to be for Star Wars stuff, but I am straight-up thrilled for these silly space adventures to be back on the big screen. Give me all things Grogu as big as possible, as long as possible, please and thank you. 《星球大战：曼达洛人与格罗古》。 关于这部电影的评价褒贬不一，就像《星球大战》系列一贯的情况那样，但我真心为这些有趣的太空冒险重返大银幕感到兴奋。请给我尽可能多、尽可能大的格罗古内容，拜托了，谢谢。

Steve Jobs in Exile. It is very hard to find new stories to tell about Steve Jobs, but from what I’ve read so far, Geoff Cain’s new book is full of them. This book is the story of NeXT, Pixar, Jobs’ deep personal changes, and how the guy who almost destroyed Apple came back to save it. Also just a very fun read. 《流亡中的史蒂夫·乔布斯》。 想要挖掘关于史蒂夫·乔布斯的新故事非常困难，但就我目前阅读的内容来看，Geoff Cain 的这本新书充满了新鲜事。这本书讲述了 NeXT、皮克斯、乔布斯深刻的个人转变，以及那个差点毁掉苹果的人是如何回归并拯救它的。而且，这本书读起来非常有趣。

How to Rule the World. Two great tech books this week! This one is from a Stanford student, digging deep into his own world and its bizarre and problematic and outrageously successful connection to the tech industry. Stanford and Silicon Valley have always been tied together; this is an excellent look into what that really means. 《如何统治世界》。 本周有两本很棒的科技书！这一本出自一位斯坦福学生之手，深入挖掘了他所处的世界，以及它与科技行业之间那种离奇、充满问题却又极其成功的联系。斯坦福大学和硅谷一直紧密相连；这本书是对这种联系背后真正含义的绝佳剖析。

The Anker Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro. I cannot say I expected to be super excited about a pair of Anker earbuds that are roughly the same price as AirPods, but my colleague John Higgins says they are the best phone-call earbuds he’s ever used. How I am supposed to not buy them now! Anker Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro。 我没想到自己会对一副价格与 AirPods 差不多的 Anker 耳机感到如此兴奋，但我的同事 John Higgins 说这是他用过通话效果最好的耳机。这让我怎么能忍住不买呢！

Age of Audio: The Inside Story of Podcasting. A terrific history lesson from the folks at Twenty Thousand Hertz, with some great stories from a bunch of legendary podcasters. Connected to a recent documentary of the same name that I am now very eager to find a way to see. 《音频时代：播客内幕故事》。 这是来自 Twenty Thousand Hertz 团队的一堂精彩历史课，收录了许多传奇播客主讲述的精彩故事。它与最近的一部同名纪录片有关，我现在非常渴望找到观看它的渠道。

Forza Horizon 6. Gorgeous, ultra-realistic cars, which you can tinker with and drive endlessly over gorgeous, ultra-realistic Japanese landscapes. Yeah, it can be a super-intense racing game, but I’ve also come to see Forza as almost… cozy. Sometimes you just need a Sunday drive, you know? 《极限竞速：地平线 6》。 华丽且超逼真的赛车，你可以对它们进行改装，并在华丽且超逼真的日本风景中无尽驰骋。没错，它可能是一款超级激烈的赛车游戏，但我现在觉得《极限竞速》几乎是一种……治愈。有时候你只是需要一次周日的兜风，你懂的。

The MacStories Shortcuts Playground. Federico Viticci and the gang at MacStories are true connoisseurs of Apple Shortcuts, and they’ve made something really cool: a way to use Claude Code or Codex to just describe the Shortcut you want, and have it magically appear. (They also released a huge set of Shortcuts they’ve made, many of which are extremely cool.) This is how Shortcuts is SUPPOSED to work! MacStories 快捷指令游乐场。 Federico Viticci 和 MacStories 的团队是 Apple 快捷指令的真正行家，他们做了一件非常酷的事情：通过 Claude Code 或 Codex，你只需描述你想要的快捷指令，它就会神奇地出现。（他们还发布了一大套他们制作的快捷指令，其中许多都非常酷。）这才是快捷指令“应该”有的工作方式！

• “Got an Oculus Go at a thrift store for $10. Most of the apps are nonexistent except for YouTube, and it’s surprisingly… fine? I wonder if the future AI wearables will be useful for a long time; Apple devices seem to be the only group that are still usable even after half a decade.” — Allen “在二手店花 10 美元买了一个 Oculus Go。除了 YouTube，大多数应用都无法使用，但它出奇地……还行？我很好奇未来的 AI 可穿戴设备是否能长期保持实用；苹果设备似乎是唯一即使在五年后依然好用的产品。”——Allen

• “My mom gave my son a Stickerbox for his 9th birthday. My kids and their friends have spent many hours collectively making stickers for everything and everyone. I love that it embraces simplicity while still making a toy with AI and a screen. Also great that there’s no subscription!” — Matt “我妈妈送给我儿子一个 Stickerbox 作为他 9 岁的生日礼物。我的孩子们和他们的朋友花了很多时间一起为各种东西制作贴纸。我喜欢它在拥抱简洁的同时，还结合了 AI 和屏幕。而且没有订阅费，这太棒了！”——Matt

• “A Man on the Moon by Andrew Chaikin is one of the best nonfiction books I’ve listened to in a long time. I don’t often run to books anymore, but I maintained my race cadence listening to the Apollo 11 moon landing section.” — James “Andrew Chaikin 的《月球上的人》是我很久以来听过的最好的非虚构类书籍之一。我不再经常去读纸质书了，但在听阿波罗 11 号登月那一部分时，我保持住了跑步的节奏。”——James

• “I’m going to be experimenting this weekend with a couple of Google Docs alternatives — Writer and Ellipsus — and working on the slog to transition away from Gmail…” “这个周末我打算尝试几个 Google Docs 的替代品——Writer 和 Ellipsus，并努力完成从 Gmail 迁移出来的繁琐工作……”
