I use firefox and I like it but they have been dumbfying their UI and nagging users to use pockets.
Why on earth would I need to go to about window to update? Also, I don’t know where to find extensions so I just choose addons then manually go to extensions.
Yup, the new FF UI is unbearable. And it was the last straw (among other things) that convinced me that it was time to switch to something else (after 20 years).
Yeah i can't stand it either, stayed on the old UI for 18 months or so until sites started breaking. I'm using this mod to make it work like the old UI and it's exactly the same, plus you only need to setup once updates haven't broken it for me so far. https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix
Thanks, I already knew about the "unfuck" fix made by Black. Too late for me, anyway. I have realized that Mozilla doesn't care about feedbak or users' opinion (or the users at all...), so I don't feel like supporting them anymore.
By the way, the fix is fine. But it is a matter of principle: people shouldn't have to waste their time unfucking Mozilla's fuckups and users shouldn't have to waste their time trying to make a browser usable. So, congrats, Moz Corp, you've managed to lose an hardcore user.
May I ask what are you using now?
Brave. I was between it and Vivaldi. Finally settled on Brave.
