> Firefox’s Redesigned Preferences Feel More like the Web
This is such a weird thing to me. Did anyone ever want this? Were users asking for this? Did user studies show that this was somehow desirable or preferable? Did they do a study of Chrome users and find that they were more likely to stick with Firefox if they made this change? Does it significantly reduce code maintenance burden somehow?
It seems like the kind of thing where users only "want" it because it's familiar, and it's only familiar because it's already been forced on them everywhere. Basically it's circular reasoning. It's like the meme of hiding a button and then claiming that users never use that feature, so you can justify removing it.
