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.
