Yeah. There's nothing of substance here. All it is is a shortcut for private mode and a default to dark theme when you're in private mode. Not really noteworthy

Yeah. There's nothing of substance here. All it is is a shortcut for private mode and a default to dark theme when you're in private mode. Not really noteworthy. It's a user-hostile update, even. Dark theme by default when private? I'll control my own themes, thanks. If people are unsure whether they're in private mode, put a permanent private mode indicator in the UI. And what about people who will now confuse dark theme with private mode? Their privacy story just got worse!

- jrootabega 4y agoThen the dark theme default was not necessary. And I'll note that it's a private mode indicator on NEW private tabs only.
- throwoutway 4y agoThe corp speak at Mozilla is getting even weirder. It sounds like something my HR VP would say: > new desktop feature that allowed our users to express their most authentic selves and bring joy while browsing the web. No, it’s just another color theme setting.
- BitwiseFool 4y agoMarketing prose is to be expected, but this is just too much. I suspect there aren't enough people at Mozilla with the courage to tell the marketing/brand management folks to tone it down. I don't necessarily blame them, though. It isn't easy to give criticism to creative folks with a great deal of enthusiasm.
