Yep, some things never change. Bet you can't wait to see the final UI?

If you're fresh to this thread, this is what they're on about -

http://www.ghacks.net/2017/03/24/here-i ... ew-design/

Well, I think so anyway, it might be about this one - http://www.ghacks.net/2016/02/25/first- ... r-windows/ or, this one - http://www.ghacks.net/2017/02/16/opera- ... -revealed/

Well, it's about some browser anyway, that's for sure. Damn things all look the same to me

Edit - I've just had a look at the forum title here, it's probably about the first link.

There's a lot of interesting comments from the Mozilla staff on the Firefox subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/commen ... f_firefox/

..and remember, this time there's not going to be a CTR to stick Band-Aids on it.
WTF wants to waste time discussing Australis Part Deux for another six months ?...not me.
Its romper room stuff for six year olds; no doubt inspired by watching too much bong fueled Star Trek.

I guess I am gonna post this here as well because why not

https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/ ... w/dfosdrz/

When will WebRender be enabled by default in Nightly? When will WebRender reach performance parity with current Nightly

Long story short, in a while. For enablement, it's hard to predict accurately for a project of this scope, but we'd like it to be in a good shape by November (I am a terrible person to ask about time estimates so this might be too optimistic). Performance parity will be some time in between then and now (I think that we don't have a milestone specifically for it other than it needs to be significantly better than what we currently have by the time it ships).

I don't think we should overrate Mockups that much. Things may not turn out as shown.

This Mockup did not become part of Firefox for example:

https://bug1040804.bmoattachments.org/a ... id=8523889

No offense, no it's not, it's a waste of time and energy, we've been through this before, over and over, graffiti on freeway overpasses is more interesting.
If Mozilla had a clue and got outside, rather than kick them in the head, they would have hired/consulted some rather talented UI/Extension/Themer guys and gals around here.

@ Do we really need to see that THREE times!
