What does /g/ think of the upcoming Nova Redesign for Firefox?
>>108373153Looks like Zen browser.
>>108373153Can they stop moving shit and just put the menus back. Fuck.
>>108373153maybe they should fix the jank browsing history instead of this
>>108373153What's the point?
>>108373153The UI looks pretty cool.
>>108373153Fixed it
>it's actually real
>>108373153>iconSoulless.>mascotGood.>designAbsolute dogshit.
>>108373153when is it scheduled so I can disable updates right beforehand?
>>108373153Looks cool, nice design. Surely it won't come with 100mb more ram used per per tab for no reason hahaha
>>108373153I quit Firefox because I was sick of the terrible performanceI'm considering coming back because it's the only browser that can reliably block all adsAre they addressing the memory leaks, crashes, and bad performance? Will it shove AI down my throat?
>>108373177>>icon>Soulless.Actual new icon will be shown within a week, it will feature Kit ig.
>>108373175why do they do this shit when firefox is so far behind chromium? There is no justification of spending time to forcefully redesign shit and its like they are trolling with simplifying the logo even more by removing the fucking FOX
>>108373192Makes sense. But the UI is still dogshit.
I trust the forks more than I trust Mozilla. Especially when they just copy what the forks are already doing but late.Mozilla should focus on the engine more than the frontend. I feel like their own userbase has been asking them to stop changing the UI for over a decade now that they just don't listen and that's why they keep bleeding users every single year.
>>108373193Fox is coming back next week on the logo, it will feature Kit, that's what they want the firefox to be.
>>108373175Why is the world like this.
>>108373213fucking money is used on playing around like this instead of actually saving the internet
>>108373175
>>108373153I HATE ROUNDED CORNERS AND PADDING>I HATE ROUNDED CORNERS AND PADDINGI HATE ROUNDED CORNERS AND PADDING>I HATE ROUNDED CORNERS AND PADDINGI HATE ROUNDED CORNERS AND PADDING>I HATE ROUNDED CORNERS AND PADDING
>>108373246If we just spend the donations on one more conference and fire 1 more team of engineers, it might make the product good. This time I can feel it.
>>108373153>bisexual goyblobIt fucking sucks
>>108373153CUTE!
>>108373267rounded corners board ya newbitch
>>108373153Someone link that video where hobo stares at TVs inside a store in total apathy.Firefox what the fuck. You were supposed to be the chosen one. But you flushed servo. And turned to furfaggotry.
>>108373153* { border-radius: 50px; }It's shit.I like the mascot tho. Kinda curious to see how the new icon will look like.
* { border-radius: 50px; }
>>108373153not much I'm still using the Australis design
>>108373301>But you flushed servoreally?what happened?
>>108373361for me it's photon
>>108373217I guess it's almost finally time to replace the default Firefox icon with the dolan one. I never thought I'd see the day.
>>108373367Team fired. Given over to Linux foundation. This was years ago too.https://servo.org/Look at the footer.
>>108373367>Servo has always been a research project. It began at the Mozilla Corporation in 2012, and its employees did the bulk of the work until 2020.[9] This included the Quantum project, when portions of Servo were incorporated into the Gecko engine of Firefox.[10][4] >After Mozilla laid off all Servo developers in 2020,[9] governance of the project was transferred to Linux Foundation Europe.[1] Development work officially continues at the same GitHub repository with the project itself entirely volunteer driven.[2] pretty sure they were very heavy on the bullshit side projects that had no relation to the browser at this point (and I think they have now cut a lot of that away at least?)
>>108373410>bullshit side projectsTheir projects aren't even bullshit. A browser engine for a browser company makes sense and I will never forgive them for dropping Prism.There is an alternate universe where Electron is Gecko based. Single web service applications will never become the norm they said.
>>108373424servo wasnt bullshit side project but mozilla has history of literally everything. For some reason they tried to have an ecosystem of everything
>>108373153why? it was fine
And still you can't have multiple sidebars.
>>108373682>it was fineIt's been in decline for years. This is simply acceleration.
>>108373153It looks like Zen... so I like it.
>>108373153zoom zoom gae
>>108373153The fox is cute, the icon without the fox being on it is a horrible branding mistake, the UI is shit fuckloads of wasted blank space and retarded tranny-safe round corners for displaying rectangular content.I give it a niggerlicious/10 because it's entire purpose is just to break my userchrome.css again.
>>108373692works on my machine
>>108373153Why do modern mascots and logos have to be "cute"? I don't want my browser to be cute at all, I want it to have actual style and work without moving the buttons every 2 years.
>>108373732Everything needs to have cute things pastured on it to weed out dysgenic freaks with underdeveloped amygdalas and cute aggression.
>>108373153wtfwhy would get rid of the fox logo wtf fuck that mascot shit fuck you firefox put the fucking fox back in the logo you fucking cunts
>>108373175wait, it's just the world? Where's the fox?
>>108373768Based
who cares about the logo i fullscreen and browse the web big deal lol
>>108373213Garbo. If it's not a Firefox (Red Panda) what the fuck is the point?>>108373153Turbo Garbo, just like the last three redesigns.Give me that peak WinXP era Firefox UX back, for fucks sake. I'll even take back the .rss bookmark feature.
>>108373153I need less.
>>108373153>>108373175That's gotta be a placeholder icon while it's in testing.I mostly dislike the frame borders. Not a big fan of the rest either, but eh.
>>108373175A subtle HAL 9000 reference?
>try out firefox>internet is slow as fuck>a ton of webistes straight up don't work that work fine in every other browserFF is a fucking meme
Why did they have to change it? There was nothing wrong with pic related.
New fox will be black.
>>108373153SEX WITH THIS FURRY CREATURE>group nameFinally group tabs so I can chuck porn in one tab, project documentation on another and game wikis on nths(one tab for each game)?
>>108373153Oh good, another butthole icon.
>>108373153its tranny art style.why do trannies have to ruin everything?
>>108374698>Finally group tabshttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups
>>108373213straight to E621 with you then
>>108373153>>108373213cute mascot
>>108374269It has never been a red panda thoughever
>>108373213Why can't we get a sexy fox?
>>108374821it's open source change the branding and compile your own build
>>108374594Tabs on top is better, but I otherwise agree.
looks nice
>>108374786thought you still needed a separate extension for it, niceonce nova drops, I might try firefox for a while
>>108373153Why are tabs floating pills instead of... tabs? Do these fucking designers ever look outside their screen to design shit or are we just trying to look like Chrome?
I cannot wait for Ladybird
>>108373153soulless and will probably ruin CSS shit
>>108373923Mozilla fired her and replaced her with AI
>>108373213There is exactly 0 mention of the fox going back in the logo in that screencap.They're fucking demons sucking the soul out of everything.
>>108373153actually i like it
>>108373700The problem with Zen is that it's riddled with dumb bugs. I switched to vanilla Firefox because of the constant annoyances. But I feel like I'm on a sinking ship anyway.I mean, once Israel begins importing and microchipping immigrants for their Greater Israel Project and the whole world runs on device attestation and AI surveillance, will they let us have a simple browser that doesn't run by keeping a dildo up the user's ass 24/7? I don't think so.I'm not even sure personal computers as we know them will still be a thing.
>>108376083at one point we need to say enough is enough and start protesting against surveillance before it's too late, unless we want to live in dystopian world where the elites run the world and have all the power over us "peasants" (they already do, but now the average joe don't care and don't see it yet, but whenever joe is gonna start noticing or it's gonna start bothering him then this is gonna be point of no return and its already too late - joeover)
>>108373153Isn't Fuckofox run by literal faggots and trannies.
>>108373213well at least it is just a firefox and not some furrified or diversified art mascot
>>108373153Is the menu bar finally going to be a normal size? I’ve hated the oversized buttons along the top since they started it.
>>108373153I will definitely remove the stupid gaps with my userChrome.css
>>108373153Absolute dogshit logo.
>>108373153it looks good and the couple of contrarian schizos on /g/ee aren't a relevant marketshare for them to chaseobviously it's a bit of a dramatic change but FF needs it so that:1. it gets talked about again (outside of tech circles where it's only mentioned because its engine sucks compared to Blink)2. it might get a bit of a second life from people running Arc, which did want a radically different browser UI/UX and got left on the sideways by the retards at the Browser Company when they decided to make this stupid AI browser thingoverall, it's the first decent strategic decision mozilla has done in a while for FF. maybe it pans out, maybe not, but at least it's not just them accepting a slow and inevitable death while squandering their money on retarded brownskins internship and events shit
>>108373153>more redesign instead of fixing the performance
>>108373153Kit sexo.
>>108373153>he didn't jump to waterfox the moment Mozilla announced the AI shitlmao, enjoy your ram hog clippy wannabe
>>108374826I, too, love to post meaningless trash
>>108373175>>108374553be glad it's not a butthole
>>108373178They break certificates on old releases now to force updates.
>>108379249There's three other circle-within-another-circle logos in the butthole category. Therefore, so is the firefucks logo.
Reminder I stopped using Firefox after 20 years after seeing Wokezilla aka Scamzilla and AIzilla waste donators money on redesigns instead of actually fixing the bugzilla backlog.
>>108373213All furries should fucking hang
god damn can't you guys just make a good browser already?
>
>>108379249It's always the jews. No coincidences.
>>108373153>waste money on useless webdevs and AI driven redesigns instead of making Gecko less shitThat's our Mozilla Foundationâ„¢!
>>108373153>algorithmically serving you reddit slop on the new tab page>algorithmically serving you ragebait news articles on the new tab pagecan't wait for yet another about:config tweak to turn some of this shit off or bring back about:blank for new tabs somehow>both sidebar and top bargreat! less screen space for websites!!!>everything's roundedgreat now add a notch or an island to perfect the mobile phone look idiots
>>108379827>both sidebar and top bar>great! less screen space for websites!!!99% of the websites have absolutely nothing in at least 30% of the horizontal space so the side bar doesn't really take space away. It's completely worthless though.
>>108379313based
>>108374594Consider Palemoon. Its that philosophy as a browser.
>>108373153firewho? what fork of chromium is this?
>2005>Soulful logo with an actual fire fox>2026>a circleIt cannot be simplified more, they hit the bottom this time.
>>108380604>It cannot be simplified moreIn a couple of years its icon is gonna be a monochromatic line.
>>108373153As long as they don't ruin my vertical tabs after FINALLY making them a native feature I really don't give a shit
>>108373153I think I'm gonna switch to brave honestlythey've removed the fire and the fox, so it's just nothing now
>>108373153If it were the base for an animated icon then it would be soul instead, starting out as a purple orb but the fox comes in and curls around it. Too bad that's not how it works though.
>>108376083the bugs weren't that bad when zen was new. as it is today it is fucked.
>>108379203let me guess, you use windows and play kernel anticheat mobas
in reality most websites use horizontal space for multiple columns but then dynamically degrade into some mobile layout when i dare resize my browser window smaller than 1100px. so extra junk on the side increases the minimum usable window width and further steals real-estate from my overall multi-window desktop. maximized window users are mentally deficient
they should focus their efforts on making a low-memory version of firefox. in these nightmare ram times it'd probably become the most popular browser overnight
>>108381393that'd require competent developers, anon
>>108373153Why do firefox tabs become more round everyday?
I use Zen and I don't care
>>108373153I'm surprised they haven't changed the fox to a black coloured one with big hair and looped earrings.
>>108373213> TheyOf course the fox is a tranny as well...
>>108381393Unused ram is wasted ram
>>108373169keeping trannies employed
>>108373768>Everything needs to have cute things pastured on it to weed out dysgenic freaks with underdeveloped amygdalas and cute aggression.What 'she' means is that he want's everyone to be trans and pedophiles.>>108373732
Firefox has served its original purpose and is now obsolete. It managed to get Internet Explorer to be displaced from the market and now Microsoft has retired internet explorer. But Mozilla should have seen the writing on the wall when Chrome was launched and merged Mozilla with Chromium and Webkit to have a unified open source web engine now we have three projects all haphazardly copying and pasting code from each other instead a single web specification.Ladybird will be forever playing catchup as well. So much money wasted on Mozilla could be solving real problems in the world like finally making a unified Adobe suite port to Linux.
>>108373217
>>108373153Redesigned like a tranny redesigns his genitals.
looks like Safari with compact tabs
>>108373153Fucking hate it.
>>108373153if they actually make their vertical tabs experience good maybe it'll actually be everything I wanted from Zen without the retarded amount of bugs. tiled tabs has also been a long time coming.not sure about the padding and spacing betweens elements but it's small enough that it doesn't bother me too much, will probably look more out of place on my desktop though.
>>108380604
>>108374831>Tabs on top is betterthat's because it naturally should always have been a basic OS/wm function rather than something supplied by each and every application.
>>108380875>vertical tabs>no treeswhat's even the point?
>>108384758By not making it OS dependent it's easier for programs to cater to more specific use cases and to change. One example is how you can switch tables in excel while still have styles at the top
>>108373403>y u do dis 2 me troonie?
>>108373153>Literally just a fucking circle>Trannies got paid money to do this
audacity too
>>108386339It's a sperm going into a half moon. Moon often a euphemism for the ass. A half moon hinting this is going into that ass. More gay logos.
>>108373153>lust provoking question>time wasting image

>>108386339Audacity 2.4.2 still works perfectly fine btw
>>108374594true
>>108386339there's bad logos and then there's this
when does it release?
Again? I am sure there are moire important things than to fiddle around with the UI.
>>108388023kek
>>108373213>they'reOf course.
>>108373153Whatever, I'll still be using it because its not Chromium.
>>108373768cute aggression is a cringe buzzword but i agree
>>108373153WHY HAS THE FOX DISAPPEARED FROM THE LOGO?WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE ROUND CORNERS?WHY?WHY?WHY?
>>108373177This.
>>108391656Mobile interfaces prefer simplicity.
>>108391656It's coming back in 3/4 days.It will just be Kit on the logo now.See >>108373253 and >>108373213
>>108373153i'm impressed by how bad the tabs look
Will there be a switch back to the classic theme? Similar to their AI kill switch they introduced in the last version.
>>108393003Nope.Also all these images that are posted of the Nova design are "mock-ups". People forgot to mention that part whenever they yapped about it.The thing will probably not resemble those images even 20%.
Why there is no good fork of firefox if it's open source?
>>108394344Brother what about Palemoon?
>>108373153the mascot is ugly boring shitty corporate flat art. no soul. its not cute. its just shit and lame and I don't want to see it. I'd take anything over this shit, literally even like a 14 year old autistic deviantart user's drawing of a fox with floppy knees or a giant balloon stomach or some stupid shit like that. it's just utterly and offensively insipid.
>>108373153Firefox gets worse for each release
>>108394344Zen is good if you like using a sidebar.LibreWolf/Waterfox are good if you like regular Firefox.PaleMoon is good if you want to larp like it's 2006.
>>108394515oh shit nigga what are you doing

>>108397262oh shit you are rightI don't like how nu-FF looks, the constant AI shilling, the nonstop "SIGN IN GOY" or how it render texts though
floorp
>>108397297Fair enough. I just disabled all the AI stuff through about:config but I believe they added a setting to turn it all off by now. I mainly use firefox because it's the best not-Google thing around rn.

>>108373162Moving shit around for no reason is literally the only thing they do.And they need all the ad money to do it.
>>108373403Wow I feel like that fox.
>>108384777Sure. But the apps are written by modern app developers. LMAO look at Firefox itself.

>>108402395Oh they switch it back for awhile but it seems like they just tweaked it a bit. I guess they'll change it for real when the next big version comes out.
>>108373153Macslop.
>>108373153i think this retards should start improving actual functionality instead of selling another redesign. but they are dead anyway, nothing would save those retards
>>108373153Switching to Waterfox was a good decision, clearly.
>>108374698wheres the porn
Sorry, but I'm just going to continue using this instead.
>>108373153That's a lot of wasted dead space
>>108373153Why can't tabs look like tabs? They make huge borders around everything, then no visible border around inactive tabs.
They added the fox back. I thought they were going to use Kit, but it's literally just the 2019 logo.
I like Kit, they should use Kit in the logo.
>>108406206"Kit was using the newly introduced VPN so they went invisible."But yeah, pretty fucking retarded.
>>108373153why are there 7 different firefox browsers nowadays?
>>108406294Same reason there is a billion of Chromium browsers nowadays
>>108373153the OOBE is much better now that it's a cute fox rather than soulless diversity corpo art, beyond that idk its same old same old, i dont have an issue with firefox looks, i think its pretty solid just like any big browser. imo they should focus on performance over anything
>>108406206>>108406219I mean isn't it already Kit, albeit retroactively? It's not like you can see fine differences on the globohomo ass minimalist logo they use anyway

>>108406789How do you remove furry users?
>>108406789Logo is unchanged, they removed it so they can re-introduce Kit + VPN.Besides, they literally added paws to tab groups.

>>108380385Unacceptably slow. Glacial, even.
>>108382788Retard, you can run more programs alongside if ff uses less ram.
>>108394448Too slow, and hangs on the odd website. Lack of extensions.
I didn't read the thread but if there's a way to remove all of the purple and pink it'd be alright. Thanks for asking.
