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…
I use userchrome.css to make everything square
Mastodon 5 will also join the circle circle
A recent redesign I actually liked was Graphene OS SMS app. They made it Material 3 now, looks really nice.
yea me too
Literally every app these day will be like
adding a chatbot at the bottom of the screen
Here’s our new and updated UI.
There is nothing wrong with new firefox looks? I haven’t encountered any problems.
round fields and this purple/orange theme looks like every shady vibe coded ai tool ever
It looks fine, if you don’t like it theme can be changed.
The highlighted tab looks like a input text field in dark mode, it drives me nuts.
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
It would be actually funny if this is real. Please be real.
I wish to know more
Y’all tripping the UI is fine.
What, are you gonna round the corners more?
They could, if only Luigi Colani was still alive…
Someone send firefox that spiky corner design that I saw in /all
don’t give them ideas
Maybe once we hit pure circles, we’ll keep going and start getting concave polygons.
There is a flag in about:config to turn off the super round corners.
Its called:
use:nova:renderer
or smth like that.
browser.nova.enabled
next it will be just a circle.
Fire
foxFireball
Since yall complained so much about rounded corner being “safe”, now it will explode on contact.
8d6 fire damage in a 20 foot radius.
I still kinda miss calling it Phoenix.
We’ll start having circular monitors like ancient TVs.
Eyes are circles, it’s the natural progression.
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.
matter of time before Mozilla does something to intentionally fuck up their downstream
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.
Liquid Glass. Windows 11. This post could apply to so many UI “improvements”.
I can have a boykisser on my URL bar now, so that’s neat.
Could you not before? (I haven’t cared about themes since before XUL stopped being a thing, so I don’t know.)
Maybe with an extension. Not straight out of the box.

Not straight out of the box
That’s how it works, lol.
I honestly haven’t had any issues with any of the changes. Other than the new tab grouping or whatever that is meant to be
Tab grouping has been one of the most wanted features for years. There’s just no pleasing everyone…
I haven’t really paid much attention to the UI changes, but now that I do look at it I kinda like the round “tabs” because the active one stands out more than it used to (in dark mode, BTW).
Still inferior to way back when they looked ‘attached’ to the browser viewport, like physical manila folder tabs, of course.
example
Yeah I’m usually on the hate train for stuff like this and I have no problem with the newest redesign. Been using since pre-quantum update too.
I don’t even use tab groups, I rarely have more than three open. I hadn’t even noticed the rounding until this post. I think I use the internet very differently to some people here.
My issue I’m finding, is that some of my tabs are magically grouping, an I have no idea why its even happening. I just notice a line under them
Disable tab grouping in settings if you don’t use it and it gets in the way.
You can group tabs by dragging them on top of each other. Maybe you’re doing that accidentally?
The behavior for that seems slightly different. It’s possible it was a bug that was already fixed too (or buggy extension even). but, I did originally think that. It’s not a big deal, and only noticed it recently.
They’re good for the tabs you pretend you’ll ever get back to
That’s what bookmarks are for.
You know I had that same (valid) attitude until in business everything got changed to be a webapp.
But some things are not good enough for bookmarks
Then they’re banished forever. I’m a “clean slate every day” type person. Digital mise en place, clean as you go. Marie Kondo that shit.
People like you are the reason I was afraid to go to school as a child.
