I don’t understand people complaining about Firefox UI. It barely exists. There’s a url bar with some buttons in each side. If you use vertical tabs, another bar with tiny icons for each tab.

There’s so little chrome I can’t find any fault in it. It’s just grey, out of the way, as it should be.

Edit: https://imgur.com/a/1I4gG22 tell me where the bad/ugly UI is.

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t ugly for others. Or will you just not allow others to have this opinion?

It’s ugly.

There's too much chrome. There's no way that I've ever been able to find to remove the fat fixed message header in reading view to see more of the message.

I'm with you and honestly I think most people are. Frankly, I'm pretty certain that for 90% of users of you swapped chrome for Firefox, replacing the icons too, then people wouldn't notice. I'd wager 80% of HN users.

It's such a petty argument when everything is so hackable and Google is eating the internet. I wish people would put half the energy they use to complain to solve the things they are upset about.

Have you seen the new Nova theme? It’s horrible, especially with vertical tabs.
