Mozilla Ponders Major Firefox UI Refresh
CWmike writes "Mozilla is working on a revamp of Firefox to synchronize its various versions — desktop, tablet, phone and Windows 8 Metro — into a single visual style, according to documents posted by members of its user interface (UI) design team. The project, which does not have a name, and the earlier blending of Mozilla's mobile and desktop design groups, is meant to bring more coherence to the various versions of the open-source browser. 'One of our major goals for the year [is] getting Firefox to feel more like one product — more 'Firefoxy' — across all our platforms, desktop to tablet to phone,' Madhava Enro of the Mozilla UI design team, said in a post to his personal blog on Tuesday. Enro posted a slideshow he and others used the week before to present their proposals at a company get-together. According to the presentation, some UI elements will be shared across all Firefox editions, among them a lean toward 'softer texture' and smoother curves in the design."
Yeah, if you're going to mimic the UI of a better product, you may as well just use the better product.
Yeah, being tracked even more than normal is great! Also, helping to line the pockets of some marketers without ever being compensated one dime yourself is really fun. See how they line up for this. Hooray for voluntary exploitation! Why, it's like an act of charity, giving so selflessly to those poor helpless starving product-hawkers.
Or did you mean Chromium? No, I guess you would have said that if you meant it...
