Likely, I didn't recognise the first image, and assumed it was edge. Firefox was easier because of the 'in private browsing' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not very good at paying attention to my own screens. It does however show that Mozilla was very inspired by Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I meant, I didn't bother changing it as Lime had quoted me, so the mistake would still be there 1 minute ago, oldtimefighter said: It's actually Firefox and Edge... Does it matter?

oldtimefighter Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) I am normally not a fan of flat design but the new Photon UI didn't go as far as Edge and it just looks better to boot. LimeMaster 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blueness of the tabs & Private Browsing label would honestly suit Edge more. Orange is usually associated with Firefox. 13 minutes ago, oldtimefighter said: Does it matter?

I was wrong. I'm glad Mozilla decided to keep at least some of the customizable elements of the browser. I was kinda scared they would remove all of them with this update.

Android phones all look the same now. There are design trends that are copied everywhere including browsers. Saying that, understand things look even more the same if not familiar with them. I have used the Photon UI with 57.0beta for one day and could tell that was Firefox right away. At work, I also use Firefox but regular staff only have IE and Chrome as options. I sometimes can't tell right away which one is open at first glance on the user's desktop. LimeMaster 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, it's a good change, and it will be even better once most of the existing extensions are updated to support it. oldtimefighter 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average user can't even tell what version of Windows they are using by looking at the bottom bar. DConnell and LimeMaster 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's true. If only the boot screens still made it obvious which version they had. The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
