  Let me put it another way, Grishka. A more direct way. They redesigned Firefox to be in line with modern aesthetics to be appealing to the vast majority of the existing and potential user base, not fringe weirdos like you.  You're right. There's no reason for me to be rude. But Grishka expecting time to stand still just to suit his non-mainstream tastes is unrealistic. That being said, Grishka could just continue to use the old version or fork it and update it himself. That's more likely than having a mainstream product never get a visual makeover.  Bradley, "modern aesthetics" is like fashion. It brings no practical benefits whatsoever — it's change for the sake of change in its purest form. |
Down10, "We’ve redesigned and modernized the core experience to be cleaner, more inviting, and easier to use."
That's very much subjective and doesn't look like a real problem needing a solution nearly as drastic as making a new UI from scratch. I'm pretty sure the old UI was "easy to use" enough. I mean it's a web browser. Everyone knows how to use one. "Cleaner" is the plague that has infected many UIs these days. Yeah sure just hide everything 10 levels deep into menus, it'll be fine. Then remove those features altogether because "no one was using them". "More inviting" is straight up marketing bullshit.
