I must have missed this change. Searching on the web did not give much information. What's bad about the new address bar?

  Really? cracks knuckles Let me fire up the ol' rant machine... Ah fuck it... It's too early in the morning. - - - - In the great order of things the "megabar" isn't that big of a deal. I personally hate it, but that's just me. Objectively it's bad UI for a few reasons, but I don't want to write a big screed about UI design. At the root of the problem is what dude said above: their attitude stinks. They activate it without consent. They remove the option to disable it. Mozilla has become a caricature of itself. They were already just a fig leaf over Google's hegemony (They get 85%-90% of their money from Google and send telemetry to them by default.) Now it seems like they are adopting the same patronizing and distant stance. I hate to say it because I used to really like Mozilla and I even have some friends working there so I know it's a bunch of really good, committed folks over there, but to me their progress and process have become retrograde along the dimensions I care most about.

    Any lost functionality? New privacy issues? The main thing I noticed was that the bar got some empty space to its left and right, which took some effort to remove.
