Rather than having to rely on “share this” buttons on a web page, users can just hit F1 on their keyboards (or “function” F1 for Mac users) and select the service they want to use.Mozilla has released an updated version of its F1 browsing extension. F1 is from the Mozilla Messaging team and is designed to make it easy to share links across various social services. Rather than having to rely on “share this” buttons on a web page, users can just hit F1 on their keyboards (or “function” F1 for Mac users) and select the service they want to use.When Mozilla released the first iteration of this extension back in November, we welcomed the idea of a browser-focused sharing system. With the latest release, however, Mozilla has really upped the ante and improved the look and functionality of the extension, as well as adding support for more services.
New Look and Feel
The old version of F1 wasn’t unattractive — in fact we complemented the clean design. The problem, however, was because sharing buttons spanned the horizontal length of the browser, it could get cluttered and ungainly if used with too many services or on browser windows of odd widths.
The new interface features a vertical layout that stacks each service on top of another, displaying the sharing template only for a selected service. The content of the browser also remains unchanged in this implementation, with the overlay simply floating atop the webpage.
We like this look much better and find it effective and unobtrusive. This new video shows the plugin in action:
