It's wild to me how UI developers just can't let things be. Certain elements are timeless and just work. Why do you feel you have to reinvent the wheel every few years?

Quite franky I am tired of these fucking rounded corners everywhere. The current design is fine. Already a bit too rounded. Just make quality of life and web compatibility improvements rather than change the look of the GUI.

To casual users, the sort likely to lap up Apple’s colourful new MacBook Neo or find Google’s Material You colour flourishes appealing, it’s the kind of change that could win over hearts and minds; a way to signal “I am like the others, don’t think me strange”.

This sounds pretentious as fuck.

Bah just fix the browser first. Give a way to disable audio for given sites. Fix the regression that made it impossible to turn off JavaScript on a page that was already loaded. Give a way to edit bookmark URLs from the toolbar bookmark widget. Make about:processes show why "Firefox" (rather than a specific tab) sometimes gobbled the whole CPU. Etc etc.

I absolutely hate this stupid floating rounded corners trend.

The whole point of corner/edge buttons is so that you can just jam your cursor in that direction and click without the need to carefully aim. KDE's choice to ship this as default for their taskbar was dumb af.

It gives the same vibe as the stupid freestanding baths trend in interior design, where the bathtub is disconnected from the wall, but also not far away enough for you to easily mop the gap properly.

looks like shit. can't wait to have them fuck over my highly customized userchrome and having to make it again from scratch...

Mozilla can do whatever the fuck they want as long as it don't break my CSS, also FUCK ROUND CORNER

I don't like this style, floating and rounded corners. This is (customized) how my Firefox looks and I like it and I don't want to change it:

Damn, that looks absurdly ugly and even more like a foreign object on the desktop.

I hope this usability nightmare can be completely disabled or toned down so the browser looks like a native program compared to the rest of my programs.

I think it looks really good. The combination of the tab bar and the url bar is a nice touch.

I am happy with Waterfox. Time will tell if this redesign comes to it.

Atrocious.
If you want to try Firefox with a UI Redesign that doesn't suck, try Zen Browser

Just like the last Redesign, people are going to absolutely despise it for like two weeks and then people are gonna get used to it. As it always happens when software does a Redesign.

At this point, after so many design updates, my tab bar is restyled with css, my window manager knows that the browser is always fullscreen and never gives it a title bar, except when it does but then it's just the plain normal system one, all the extra toolbars and widgets that can be removed have been removed, and I absolutely never see the "new tab" page. I'm not going to care if the back/forward/reload buttons look slightly different. Here's hoping I don't even notice this one...

You’ll notice in the image above that web page content isn’t flush to the sides of the browser window, nor does it extend up to the tab bar. Instead, web content sits ‘framed’ within a rounded container

WTF Mozilla are you fucking kidding me

FFS, why does everyone has to waste so much screen space on those damn rounded corners and shadows and paddings for them? Why those damn designers across all companies can't just calm the fuck down and leave the tools be tools and not some form of art?

oh god another one? i still haven't recovered from photon

What's with the border around the render area? That can be turned off, right?

I really wish every app would stop making its own theme and just use the system one.

I actually think it looks nice. The tabs are a bit wonky though

I would've made it more minimal. Doesn't look the best, doesn't look the worst. Seems like a wasted opportunity.

RIP my workflow, again. I just hope Sidebery catches up quickly and I don't have to modify my CSS a lot.

trash

installs it anyway

Looks awful.

It doesn't go.
