about:blank with a dark theme is the only new tab experience I will ever use.

I mean I get that and I think many people on the Fediverse agrees, but I showed my girlfriend this picture with the red panda background and she's excited about this feature (and hence Firefox) because of a red panda.

Don't underestimate or undervalue catering to non-technical people. If we want Firefox to be adopted more widely, we need those people to enjoy the experience.

Same, probably, but I also appreciate the option.

I don't hate it, but the other options in the screenshot makes it seem like they're going for parity with Edge in terms of new tab customizability. I love my Firefox but over the long history of the project I feel like they've frequently chased the wrong trends.

Personally I always use the blank new tab page, so I bet this won't even work for me. ๐Ÿ™

Same. I don't need anything on a new tab page, I just need to search in the URL bar. Maybe there'd be value if I could use the "tabs on other devices" thing as my new tab page.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that would be handy. Good call.

I use Bonjourr new tab page already

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Iโ€™m one of the devs, always nice to find users in the wild! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

This comment inspired me to try out Bonjourr. Absolutely love it so far. Keep the great work up!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Will do! Thank you ๐Ÿ™Œ

That's why I use tabliss - plus all the other customization and config.

@neme They should organize the menus in one place and add more overall customization options instead. Seems they just randomly jump in different directions ignoring their core users.

Yay speed improvenents?

I wonder if they'll implement stuff like this:

Mozilla seems to believe browsers are the destination, rather than a means of getting there.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

does it work with animated images/videos?

I miss them so much!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'd rather they fix the"Firefox is already running" bug

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have been waiting for this. Do you reckon this will put and end to Tabliss?
