Guys, please tell me why the hell I want so much glass at the top of the browser? I tried it and the inactive tabs are unreadable and basically looks like crap at the top.. Depending entirely of course what Wallpaper you have on Windows, well I use the default one.. and it makes the top of the browser look totally unfriendly and harder to use :/

Example

Ah , it really looks bad , but have a look @ the my attachment too

What i mean is , you have the option to hide all of them , so why not? Hide the bookmark's bar , menu bar , and see , its friendly again!

No I'm not, thats the default UI when you install it.

1)Its pre alpha , default settings will change when Firefox Menu button will come

2)Background for bookmark bar will land soon , so aero for that will also be lost soon

3)Its firefox , you can change the looks anytime :)

That on the other hand isn't a default layout :)

it's not final:

and anyway it's a matter of tastes. as far as i'm concerned, i can't stand the way chrome's tabs are attached to the top of the window.

Why the hell you want so much glass at the top of the browser? You obviously don't :p However, some of us do :) When I use Firefox in this way, I'll just ensure I'm using a desktop background which looks great with that much glass and I won't use the browser over other windows - it'll look so good then (to me); however, I do believe they should give people an option, in case they have a set up like yours. I think, not only do glass applications look bad with the default Windows 7 wallpaper, but the Task Bar does as well.

yeah , i was about to inform that , lol

Also , don't think these are finally designs , check the mockups , they use not too much of glass

Yeah, they're not final, they were aiming to land at least a beta of the new theme this month, and we're only half way in.

One of the new GUI/Tab features I'm interested in is "Tab Candy"

From what I've read, it should take advantage of the Layers work and should be quite fast with the proper hardware.

Yeah , i really like this idea , tab candy will replace list all tabs , and right now , if u have Altpreview for it enabled , u can see aero being used by it to show all the tabs , like this :

Firefox copying Google Chrome UI wise, except that the Firefox UI looks somehow like a cheesy copy of the Chrome UI. Don't like it basically.

Honestly the innovation seems to be happening with Webkit and Trident. Firefox looks like a cheap hooker with new bling.

just because they put tabs on top like chrome? And rendering engine != UI

Theres no innovation going in trident, it's still behind Gecko, Presto and Webkit

:) Please don't mind clicking here (this is for cheesy word) sir

:) Please don't mind knowing , no one copied anyone sir

Why is it a "cheesy copy"? It isn't even finished.

Except for Firefox having the most advanced HTML5 support and all that, you mean?

I like the tabs on top feature... just not how they look right now. I can't wait for them to get that properly designed. So far, the nightlies are performing fast, just not as fast as Chrome still.

Do you really have to promote Chrome in every single comment you make?

Is this only on Windows 7? The tabs are not at the top on the Windows XP system I'm using at the moment.

For AERO only , that's why it had "New UI and Aero"

Sorry for not being precise

For you to get that , you need to wait for Firefox menu button to land , and that too not like a toolbar button , but placed @ top left after drawing the titlebar...

Till then , Tabs for you will not use Luna etc...

Trident is getting hardware acceleration, I thought and HTML 5 support, plus fast java engine. (just knowledge from general reading, I'm no guru), either way Mozilla seems to be playing catchup to Webkit and really stumbling on the way.

LOL , dont take that seriously PreKe , we too would like to promote Firefox :D

And why no one tells Chrome lovers and who say "copy' etc that Chrome , basically is using WebKit Engine (not its own) , and some of the Firefox core codes (im not that pro , so dunno which , but yes it does)

So , why dont u say that Chrome too copied many things...

So they did all these innovations , except hardware acceleration... ?

BTW why is IE speeding up their Java engine? Wont u use the word catchup here again?

From what I read, that's Webkit's crown not Firefox. lol you've drank from the cool-aide fountain of Mozilla I think :D

In http://beta.html5test.com/ , following are the scores (out of 315)

Chrome 6 - 220

Firefox 3.7a6- 186

Safari 5 - even less (forgot the figures , but definitely less than Firefox)

Opera 10.6 - 129

So i see two WebKit Browsers here , 1 @ top , 1 @ bottom of firefox. Yeah they are the king of the hill really!

BTW i can see less ppl are voting for "No , i hate firefox""

Safari 5 on Mac gets 208 plus 7 bonus points. You really should learn facts before posting.

LOL! So you are now comparing scores between two different OSs. These were on Win7 , and there is really no meaning to compare like this. BTW Safari and Mac , i see some optimization between them...

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
