Duh. Obviously the logo is what’s wrong, better redesign that too. No, wait, it needs AI! No, wait, it needs to tell me about some VPN. Support the specifications, be secure. Perhaps try that.

Chromium dominates the web. It doesn’t just power Google’s own Chrome browser (which has majority market share by a wide margin), it powers most of the rest of the competition, too, including Microsoft Edge. Yet another person who says Edge is based on “Chromium”. It’s not. It’s using its rendering engine, Blink. They mentioned Gecko right afterwards, why can’t they get “Blink” right?

I really can’t wait for Servo to get into a usable state and have alternative browsers being build on top of that.

I got the update today and I’m so tired boss. We had almost settled on something visually calm and organized, and leeeettzzzgooooo back to floaty rounded shit with no choice left to the user ! Blender does interface right, please for the love of Cthulhu take some inspiration: it’s got a “roundedness” property for every UI widget that goes from perfectly square to perfectly round, a “widget emboss” property that can be tuned to your liking or disabled entirely, a “widget underline” property, it lets you disable button decorations as well so your toolbars are only floating icons, etc. Everything is possible and it’s very easy to tune. Please do something like that and nevee touch it again.

Opera 12 started to do this. China owns it now and it is based on Chromium. A couple of Open Source browsers did it for the same reason later and lost users like their was orbital bombardment hitting their project. Grab a brain… it is not the design language that makes Chrome so successful and if you look and act like them, well users are just going to use them.

the worst part of using Firefox is mozilla the second worst part is mozilla fans

What Firefox needs is to fire everyone responsible for the UX, if they have such people on their payroll & put all their ehm “limited” resources on improving performance & some effort is also needed to become more Chromium compatible, perhaps even on a site by site basis. Alas as long as Google is the main revenue source for the project, all this is a pipe dream.

@rhamph@awful.systems silver lining, of sorts: compact mode is back!

To disable the new design, simply uncheck the “Enable the Nova redesign option” (Settings > Appearance > Browser Design). Alternatively, set browser.nova.enabled to false in about:config.

And part of this is made possible by AI tools, to be honest with you. We are able to do a lot more. People want to feel like they’re in a modern browser—things that match the design language of the operating system. So that’s part of it. We are bringing back compact mode as well… firefox isnt competitive enough. @grok bring back compact mode. checkmate, chromium

Why on EARTH did they move the FUCKING BACK BUTTON and replace it in its prior position with some FUCKING BULLSHIT USELESS sidebar button If I give up and become a supervillain, my primary hand-to-hand combat weapon will be a copy of the Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines laser-etched onto stainless steel plates and somehow bound in a physicalized representation of the tattered remains of these peoples’ abandoned dignity

I absolutely get the Mozilla hate. What I don’t get is the dwindling numbers. I recently had to switch from Zen back to Firefox on my corporate laptop due to policy. Firefox really still is an excellent browser and would recommend it over Chrome. I occasionally have to open chrome and that’s starting to feel more and more like explorer.

I couldn’t care less tbh. Still a fine browser, still a great daily driver, still blocks all the ads with ublock.
