So much wasted space 🤮

firefox's photon theme uses the same amount of space and that's without the menubar enabled ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But the space isn't wasted. Its used for greater legibility and generally improved accessibility and UX. But also, I dont think you're right 🤔

People have different tastes of course. Mine are dictated by a reading disability amongst other things.

i respect the need for accessibility, but i don't like not having options. if your vertical resolution is lower than 1080 going into about:config and re-enabling the deprecated compact mode is almost a necessity, and who knows how long that's going to last.

the netscape theme does use a lot of space by default, but importantly, it doesn't have to. text below icons can be turned off, icon size can be reduced, toolbars can be merged, etc. and if it's still too much, this browser a complete theme library, which was something firefox killed off years ago.
