What's new in Firefox 48:


You liked the address bar suggestion list? It comprised entries that were like:

Page title
http://page.url/

It was esaily readable. And it looked somewhat native. You know, like Windows controls.

It wasn't cool enough for Mozilla however. They copypasted Chrome's address bar suggestion list, down to the Chromey font. To make it look different, they swapped the URL and title, though. So in the end, it is:

Page title — http://page.url/

Reading the suggested URLs is harder because they're all over the place instead of being aligned. But who cares, it looks like Chrome so it's cool!

Oh and it also looks like a smartphone UI! You know, pretending your screen is tiny! It's the new trend in UI development.



Oh also, they axed the possibility to set the New tab page. Why? Because Chrome did it! Because crapware can change it to make it a crap page!

Actually, you should throw your computer out the window. Crapware can abuse it in any damn way. What's the best way to deal with a problem? Remove everything!

Another thing in the Address Bar I've noticed, is that the suggested list now takes up full width, instead of just the width of the Address Bar itself.

for a what, 300 pixel gain at best. gee, that's huge, esp. on a desktop monitor.

oh right, those don't exist, everything is a smartphone. sorry.

Come to Opera guys, we have waffles A BROWSER THAT DOESN'T USE UP ALL THE CPU

Actually idk if firefox is like that but you're complaining about it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Opera is lost already considering they switched to Webkit.

I also don't like how Opera or Chrome handle many tabs: compress them to 3px each until they all fit. bfdkhgdokgjsf

if Firefox ever adopts that, I'm blowing up their headquarters.

in a nutshell. I wouldn't have said it better.


as for spying (collecting performance data or whatever they call it), Firefox does too, everyone does. It's part of the modern trends, as well as constantly begging people for reviews, and other shit.

they don't get it. no feedback means satisfaction.

or it means that the user just gave up, and they weren't truly interested.

either way, I had no idea Windows 10 fell that low. one more reason against it, I guess.

I would leave a one-star review saying: "software functional but LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE".

does 'Internet Explorer' include Edge? seems odd that Japan would use IE massively...

anyway, who knows if that's accurate, between shit like useragent spoofing and ridiculous useragents pretending to be every browser and platform...
