I thought Firefox on Mobile might have changed recently and started to look fugly and Chrome-like.

Turns out Firefox on desktop is redesigning again and turning the fugly "buttons not tabs" Proton design into a fuglier "ROUND ALL THE THINGS!" Nova design 🙄

Those mockups look like absolute shit. What's with the rounded content window? And the bizarre "we're pretending to be floating palettes rather than components on a single window" layout?

Hopefully there will still be CSS that can fix it, the same as I've got fixes for the Proton design.

When I find a new app and it advertises its clean and modern ui I want to scream and look for an alternative.
It’s crazy how „clean“ and „modern“ in the context of ui got very negative words for me since ~10 years now.
Will this ever get better again?

Modern desktop user interfaces have tried as hard as they can to forget that they run on windowing systems; resulting in things as simple as viewing two different windows on the same screen to be an absolute nightmare; everything wants to assume it is full screen. #modernuisucks #desktopsarenttablets
