Worst UI Any% Speedrun
I enjoy the irony that you’re this obsessed with hating something you never paid for and then consider it voting with your wallet.
I remember you from: every other thread where you can shoehorn in your weird Mozilla hate
Tbh, firefox’s hamburger menu is still pretty dumb. To my knowledge it has no shortcut, it is not configurable and can’t be removed from the toolbar. Right at the top it has with bold text sync, whether you use it or not. It has this stupid animation when it shifts to submenus. Another button that can’t be removed is the extensions button.
But well … chromium doesn’t even allow to customize the toolbar in the first place.

How so? It looks pretty standard to me. Agreed that it’d be nice to have a keyboard shortcut for it, but calling it among the worst UI seems excessive.
And being able to customise menus like that is exceptionally rare in software.
True. It probably feels that way because it moved into the toolbar, which was always customizable. If I remember correctly, they always argued that you can use the old menus if you want to use keyboard. But it feels a bit unfinished, the burger menu can’t be removed from the toolbar, has no shortcut and does not have all options the old menus have (offline mode, open file, new container tabs, find again).
And I’m also annoyed by sync since it appeared in that menu. Running your own server for that was always tricky or not possible and it’s not possible to build something similar with addons since they can’t even access bookmark tags.
I think, the idea is that you don’t need a keyboard shortcut for the hamburger menu, because the regular menubar contains everything and is fully keyboard accessible by pressing Alt.
But yeah, that it can’t be removed is there to protect regular users from themselves. If you’re a power user wanting to remove it, then that (and much more) can be done with userChrome.css. See, for example: www.userchrome.org
Discord, cause everyone is there. Curse Voice had it stomped by miles, any chat room had the chatroom feature beat, anyone could design a better UI, but it has everything in the same place, and I think being free and custom bots gave it critical mass.
Doesn’t mean it’s good.
I honestly like the new mobile experience. It seems more tidy.
When people say that it’s “literally unusable” I’m like “what the fuck were you using it for?”
To switch from a server to a private message:
Move your finger all the way up and tap on the server (arranged vertically)
Move your finger all the way down and tap on the message icon (arranged horizontally)
Move your finger all the way up and tap on the private message (arranged vertically).
Have fun having a conversation in a PM and a sever at the same time. In the old UI this was a swipe and a tap. The new UI is cumbersome and sucks ass.
And why does the message box, the most important element, only get 50% of the screen’s width? 99.999% of the time I do not want to send an attachment, a voice messsge, or gift fucking nitro. Why have the fucking buttons there all the time?
I miss when everyone was on Skype.
It’s not good, but I guess it isn’t too bad.
But I imagine they’re referring to the new mobile UI, which is a mess.
If the aim is to drive users towards brainless engagement with arbitrary content, they’re great.
But for UX they’re dogwater.
Uh… Uh… Uh…
