The menubar is useless cruft from the 1980s. Can't believe that it's still such a huge part of the OS X user interface.
Bravo to Microsoft Office, Chrome, Firefox, etc. for abandoning the menu bar entirely in their new versions.
- mixmastamyk 15y agoI like menubars, and continue to use them every day.
- quicksilver03 15y agoOf the 3 products you mention, Firefox is the only one which I have kept, since they have at least the option of turning on the menu bar. Until there's an option to turn on the menu bar, Office and Chrome (and everything which mimicks their mistakes) have no place on my machines.
- pkamb 15y agoI can kinda understand Office. Tons of commands, you grew up using the menu bar to access them, etc. It's hard to change. But for browsers? I'm genuinly curious what menu bar commands you're hitting in a browser on a daily basis. There can't be that many. Grouping them all under one menu button to simplify things and free up screen real-estate isn't that big of a deal.
