RIP my workflow, again. I just hope Sidebery catches up quickly and I don't have to modify my CSS a lot.

FFS, why does everyone has to waste so much screen space on those damn rounded corners and shadows and paddings for them? Why those damn designers across all companies can't just calm the fuck down and leave the tools be tools and not some form of art?

Just like the last Redesign, people are going to absolutely despise it for like two weeks and then people are gonna get used to it. As it always happens when software does a Redesign.

At this point, after so many design updates, my tab bar is restyled with css, my window manager knows that the browser is always fullscreen and never gives it a title bar, except when it does but then it's just the plain normal system one, all the extra toolbars and widgets that can be removed have been removed, and I absolutely never see the "new tab" page. I'm not going to care if the back/forward/reload buttons look slightly different. Here's hoping I don't even notice this one...

You’ll notice in the image above that web page content isn’t flush to the sides of the browser window, nor does it extend up to the tab bar. Instead, web content sits ‘framed’ within a rounded container

WTF Mozilla are you fucking kidding me

I actually think it looks nice. The tabs are a bit wonky though

What's with the border around the render area? That can be turned off, right?

"Art". Doesn't even look good. Everyone's doing the same modern overdone boring design.

I would've made it more minimal. Doesn't look the best, doesn't look the worst. Seems like a wasted opportunity.

I really wish every app would stop making its own theme and just use the system one.

Literally said "Oh god please no" out loud when I read that. I hope we can change that/Waterfox would let me change that when it's out

Is there any research about it?

What if someone puts a pixel at 1,1?
