I hate everything about "modern design" ... Rounded corners, gradients, blur and transparency effects, fading in/out ... fuck that! I want my browser to look and feel like the rest of my UI.

This is basically what I was thinking. I customized Firefox to be less rounded with sharp edges, single color and much denser. I don't know why every application is treated like a new abstract art (off course I'm exaggerating here).

oddly enough all these things have repeatedly appeared, disappeared, and reappeared in my lifetime, e.g. titlebars on Windows became transparent with Vista, then stopped being so in, I think, Windows 8?

well, the rest of my UI has rounded corners, transparency, and blur 🤷‍♂️

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 4 points 16 hours ago

I like some of these things, but I'd be ok with them being optional toggles. I remember seeing a Firefox fork with extensive customization options for the UI

Personally

  • rounded corners make it easier to see what is contained in what. It gives more information than just having everything meet at corners
  • gradients and blurs match the rest of my UI 😄
