- tete 13y agoI agree. It's still more beautiful in my opinion though. I don't like Chrome either, but a few parts of it are nice. The thing I dislike most about recent Firefox releases is that the selected search engine influences URL bar search, which is rather annoying in my opinion, but then I removed the search feature from the URL bar, making them at least somewhat distinct again.

- untog 13y agoBut there is a reason why Chrome looks like Chrome. Ironically, it's the lack of Chrome - the UI is unobtrusive and gets out of the way. I see the new Firefox UI in the same way.
- sanyi 13y agoI don't understand how curved tabs are supposed to get "out of the way". The new design seems to use less standard UI elements to push it's own (WinXP / Fisher-Price) agenda: I don't see any gains here and I reckon they just want to appeal to the chrome crowd.
- untog 13y agoAnd I can't fathom why you'd focus in on curved tabs in this UI redesign. It's one of the smallest details.
- sanyi 13y agoWhich is the big one then?
- Dagger2 13y agoThe removal of most UI customization.
- sanyi 13y agoI really wish browsers were like emacs and that one could replace the whole UI on a dull rainy day.
- pitterpatter 13y agouh, with firefox you pretty much can.
- isaacremuant 13y agoTry removing the button on the top left. The one with the three horizontal bars.
