      Jokes aside, I’m actually using the new Firefox design. Not much of a fan of the excessive roundness, but it brought back a feature I totally missed for years: Compact layout, you can pick it in the settings an get very tight tab and address bars and menus, it gets rid of a lot of the padding.

    I dunno. I got the new interface and like…it’s aggressively meh?

    Nothing amazing, nothing terrible. Y’all are starting to sound like late-10s Facebook grandmas.

    “But it looks like vibe code!” Yeah, and in the 90s everything looked like Windows, and in the early-00s everything was skeuomorphic, and in the mid-10s everything was flat design. This is an unfortunate design trend, but they’re all unfortunate.

    “But rounded corners!” …so? I mean, honestly, I can’t think of a single logical objective problem with them. I don’t like them much either, but I don’t have any actual criticism of them.

    As far as I can tell, the only reasonable objection is that they aren’t super great for colorblind folks. That’s real and should absolutely be fixed. But beyond that…

      The default stupid ass gradient colors literally hurt my eyes. Not exactly great for a software you’ll be staring at for hours, is it? Defaults should be unassuming. Why do I need to install random themes just so I could use a stupid browser without hurting my eyeballs? I don’t really care about the corners even if I think they look stupid too. It’s everything else. It’s just bad, not to mention fucking pointless.

      Just a week ago, my computer was perfectly fine for daily internet usage, now that they modernised the UI and i updated UI sometimes lags behind in firefox. It has slightly worse performance than before, i used to use x201, firefox got stuttery with some forums i used(no stutters with chromium, just ff) and i updated to x230. Now this one has visible lagging as well, ff doesn’t provide any improvements over chromium, i just use it out of stubbornnes yet it just keeps getting worse and i have to compremise more to use it. I am always around the bottom border of performance, ff is always the reason i have to upgrade but i don’t have a laptop i want to uprade to. Now i am on the lookout for some new browser even thought i don’t wanna.

        You can disable the new ui. Go to about:config and set “browser.nova.enabled” to false. Not sure if it’ll fix the lagging tho since it might be caused by something else that came with the update.

          I reverted back before my prior comment, at this point looking for settings to revert the changes is standart procedure for ff updates.

          I am slowly changing to qt browser, i stopped using it bc it was slower than ff but that changed at some point.

    There is nothing wrong with new firefox looks? I haven’t encountered any problems.

      There was nothing wrong with the old look either. The change should bring something positive to the mix, not “it was ok but now it’s also ok”. It’s a waste of energy if anything.

      round fields and this purple/orange theme looks like every shady vibe coded ai tool ever

        The previous amount of rounding made the tabs look like tabs. The new version just looks like buttons.

        There’s a setting to change it back (for now, at least), but they should make it a part of the themes.

        Edit: Link to post I made about the setting when I first got the update: https://lemmy.world/post/52518206

        The purple makes it look like you’re in an incognito window, but then the neon orange is there to scream “don’t worry, this isn’t an incognito window, nothing shady going on here 👀”

    Seriously bitching FF must be the favourite sport of the FOSS community. Whatever they do people complain. You can just switch off the new design if you hate it. Or move to a fork. Or create yours. Or just fucking use Chrome because round corners.

    I think it’s fine but I understand that some people don’t like it. Good thing is that you can use the style you prefer.

    Librewolf ain’t bad. I’m typing this from it right now. I don’t think it’s sustainable long-term as their dev team is small and it’s only a matter of time before Mozilla does something to intentionally fuck up their downstream. But for now it’s nice.

      Why so? I don’t think it’s in Mozilla’s interest.

      Besides, Mozilla already tried that with shutting Librefox, and they simply rebranded it to Librewolf and kept going for over 5 years now.

      Librewolf devs seem very comitted to the project too.
