So it's literally Chrome now.

  Hardly. Mimicking a UI doesn't make something "literally" that. Also, stop using "literally" when you don't literally mean that.

  Looks more like GNOME Ephiphany.

  It was literally Chrome before. Every desktop browser has the exact same UI for tabs sans the skin.

This just looks remarkably unpleasant. :/

Your third link shows that they're adding sponsors to the top sites list. As far as I know that's kind of flying under the radar, previously the only ads on the new tab page were article recommendations from Pocket.

  Unfortunately that's not new. It was previously listed as Sponsored Top Sites. At least it can be disabled easily.

    Thanks. Was this added in the last few versions? I'm usually on top of these things but I hadn't noticed that setting in the home page section of preferences until now. (For me, toggling it didn't add or remove any sites from my list, so it had no noticeable effect.)

  Pocket seems to be the only menu item visible by default, and they've adopted the idea of searching on Google from the URL bar. Is Mozilla short on cash again?

Floating tabs? I am surprised that got approved.
- josalhor 6y ago
  I am extremely surprised about this as well. Breaking the integration between the tab and the URL bar looks terrible to me.

screens have less height than width, and yet they manage to waste more height space than ever.. that is not a good UX
