Jokes aside, I'm actually using the new Firefox design. Not much of a fan of the excessive roundness, but it brought back a feature I totally missed for years: Compact layout, you can pick it in the settings an get very tight tab and address bars and menus, it gets rid of a lot of the padding.

Nice.

I wish to know more

It would be actually funny if this is real. Please be real.

don't give them ideas

Maybe once we hit pure circles, we'll keep going and start getting concave polygons.

Someone send firefox that spiky corner design that I saw in /all

They won't stop until the UI is just a clump of floating circles that each increase in size by 20% on mouseover

The default stupid ass gradient colors literally hurt my eyes. Not exactly great for a software you'll be staring at for hours, is it? Defaults should be unassuming. Why do I need to install random themes just so I could use a stupid browser without hurting my eyeballs? I don't really care about the corners even if I think they look stupid too. It's everything else. It's just bad, not to mention fucking pointless.

Just a week ago, my computer was perfectly fine for daily internet usage, now that they modernised the UI and i updated UI sometimes lags behind in firefox. It has slightly worse performance than before, i used to use x201, firefox got stuttery with some forums i used(no stutters with chromium, just ff) and i updated to x230. Now this one has visible lagging as well, ff doesn't provide any improvements over chromium, i just use it out of stubbornnes yet it just keeps getting worse and i have to compremise more to use it. I am always around the bottom border of performance, ff is always the reason i have to upgrade but i don't have a laptop i want to uprade to. Now i am on the lookout for some new browser even thought i don't wanna.

There was nothing wrong with the old look either. The change should bring something positive to the mix, not "it was ok but now it's also ok". It's a waste of energy if anything.

round fields and this purple/orange theme looks like every shady vibe coded ai tool ever

Firefox

Fireball

We'll start having circular monitors like ancient TVs.

No Android version for mobile devices 😭🤖📱

matter of time before Mozilla does something to intentionally fuck up their downstream

Why so? I don't think it's in Mozilla's interest.

Besides, Mozilla already tried that with shutting Librefox, and they simply rebranded it to Librewolf and kept going for over 5 years now.

Librewolf devs seem very comitted to the project too.

ULTRA VIEW!!

Mileage varys. I absolutely hate it. If the dev lived in my town I'd tell everyone they were being treated for simian chlamydia after buying a season pass to the zoo.

I haven't really paid much attention to the UI changes, but now that I do look at it I kinda like the round "tabs" because the active one stands out more than it used to (in dark mode, BTW).

Still inferior to way back when they looked 'attached' to the browser viewport, like physical manila folder tabs, of course.
