Privacy. Not wanting to encourage Google's monopoly positions any more than I wanted to encourage Microsoft's back in the bad old IE6 days. Inertia. But yeah, I'm disappointed they're changing the UI to one I dislike, and at the same time removing the ability to customize it. Kind of fuming about that, actually. But the alternative will be to stay on a browser that won't get any updates, and gets left behind by websites using newer features, and hacked when it doesn't get security updates. Maybe some enterprising open source developer will find a way to hack the Servo rendering engine into a different browser chrome UI - just as Firefox (then Phoenix) did with Gecko back when the Mozilla suite was dying.
