    A designer knows they have achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

    Firefox is the best browser because it has the least bloat. This is bloat. Are we doomed to go down the same path with everything?

      Well if they want something to do, I’d kill for the option of fullscreen mode not pushing the entire contents of the page down when I hover too high instead of overlaying the tab bar on top of the content.

        Every few months when I open firefox with a fresh profile, I’m surprised at the shit they keep adding. For some time there was a fox that would pop up and ask some question I can’t remember anymore because it was immediately clicked away. Their welcome wizard is also too long and could just be on a different page. At one point there was even an ad for their VPN. And sometimes, on some random sites, a translation popup with appear that I never asked for.

        I wish there were more competition in the browser space.
