This theme is weird whenever i minimize a window i can’t find it again unless i roll the system clock back to before i minimized it.
Corner radius will increase until morale improves
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.
Down with Bouba Firefox! Demand the return of Kiki Firefox!
I love the new design it fits in great with Ubuntu Gnome.
Seriously bitching FF must be the favourite sport of the FOSS community. Whatever they do people complain. You can just switch off the new design if you hate it. Or move to a fork. Or create yours. Or just fucking use Chrome because round corners.
Curved UI elements are the devil.
I think it’s fine but I understand that some people don’t like it. Good thing is that you can use the style you prefer.
ULTRA VIEW!!
I dunno. I got the new interface and like…it’s aggressively meh?
Nothing amazing, nothing terrible. Y’all are starting to sound like late-10s Facebook grandmas.
“But it looks like vibe code!” Yeah, and in the 90s everything looked like Windows, and in the early-00s everything was skeuomorphic, and in the mid-10s everything was flat design. This is an unfortunate design trend, but they’re all unfortunate.
“But rounded corners!” …so? I mean, honestly, I can’t think of a single logical objective problem with them. I don’t like them much either, but I don’t have any actual criticism of them.
As far as I can tell, the only reasonable objection is that they aren’t super great for colorblind folks. That’s real and should absolutely be fixed. But beyond that…
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.
You can disable the new ui. Go to about:config and set “browser.nova.enabled” to false. Not sure if it’ll fix the lagging tho since it might be caused by something else that came with the update.
Y’all tripping the UI is fine.
It looks terrible, especially tab groups. And they still haven’t been able to give back icons in context menus
A recent redesign I actually liked was Graphene OS SMS app. They made it Material 3 now, looks really nice.
yea me too
Librewolf ain’t bad. I’m typing this from it right now. I don’t think it’s sustainable long-term as their dev team is small and it’s only a matter of time before Mozilla does something to intentionally fuck up their downstream. But for now it’s nice.
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.
Liquid Glass. Windows 11. This post could apply to so many UI “improvements”.
I honestly haven’t had any issues with any of the changes. Other than the new tab grouping or whatever that is meant to be
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.
example
Yeah I’m usually on the hate train for stuff like this and I have no problem with the newest redesign. Been using since pre-quantum update too.
I don’t even use tab groups, I rarely have more than three open. I hadn’t even noticed the rounding until this post. I think I use the internet very differently to some people here.
They’re good for the tabs you pretend you’ll ever get back to
That’s what bookmarks are for.
You know I had that same (valid) attitude until in business everything got changed to be a webapp.
But some things are not good enough for bookmarks
Then they’re banished forever. I’m a “clean slate every day” type person. Digital mise en place, clean as you go. Marie Kondo that shit.
Agreed! I don’t know if this perspective is the minority, or if it’s just that the chronic tab openers are overrepresented in meme communities, but I am flabbergasted by the folks who have dozens of tabs open at a time, if not more. Like, I’m ADHD as all hell, so I get that angle, but do these people not have anxiety as a co-morbidity? Once I stop being able to tell from an immediate glance which tab belongs to which train of thought, I have to nuke it and start over.
My issue I’m finding, is that some of my tabs are magically grouping, an I have no idea why its even happening. I just notice a line under them
You can group tabs by dragging them on top of each other. Maybe you’re doing that accidentally?
The behavior for that seems slightly different. It’s possible it was a bug that was already fixed too (or buggy extension even). but, I did originally think that. It’s not a big deal, and only noticed it recently.
Disable tab grouping in settings if you don’t use it and it gets in the way.
Yeah. I plan to. Might be better already anyway
Actually… Looks like its probably because of Container tabs + facebook container… that makes sense
Mastodon 5 will also join the circle circle
