the old one is fine
i don't think the ui is your main problem, mozilla, but ok i guess.
Well, their main problem is attention. And we are looking at a news article right now.
I really hate the trend of people just randomly changing UI in apps for no apparent reason. It's just a pervasive problem at this point.
I'm far from an expert, but Ui design as a job seems to have a huge flaw were if you eventually make the "perfect Ui" you're suddenly out of a job.
So you're straight up punished for doing your job well and the only way to maintain a career is to just re-invent the wheel every so often and chase the trends of others doing the same thing so your Ui designs don't look "outdated"
That could be an aspect too.
Definitely, after the redesign i now have to read all the labels because just about everything has changed its layout
Exactly, and I get why companies do it. They generally prioritize bringing new customers on, so they tweak things because they think it's more trendy or appealing. But for an open source project to do these things just makes no sense at all. I get the impression people running things at Mozilla are completely disconnected from what Firefox users actually want at this point.
You're right. It's too few AI chatbots!
