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.

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:

browser.nova.enabled

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

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.

You can group tabs by dragging them on top of each other. Maybe you're doing that accidentally?

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.

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

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.

Disable tab grouping in settings if you don't use it and it gets in the way.

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...
