Why doesn't Chrome UI elicit the same reaction from the community?
I get the feeling that many people have, that FF is following suit with chrome in terms of UX (and other things), rather than innovating[1]. There is some truth to that, but I do feel like FF tries out some nice things in their UI.
I'm currently running on FF on MacOS, and I find it incredibly hard to come up with any legitimate criticism of the UI, but it does help many apps that MacOS forces a top menu.
Yes, there are little things, like tabs are now buttons, and container tabs should be easier to use without first reading a guide.
[1] And maybe many vocal HN'ers objection is directed at the mere fact that innovation is attempted.
