>- Eye candy is nice. Not everyone lives in the 90s and wants a clickable version of Lynx.

Then why are Mozilla removing everything? I like eye candy too. A metro-ified, totally bare browser without even a status bar is the complete opposite.

Oh, and links has mouse support via GPM.

>- Configuration options are as useful as the users make it. There was a massive outrage on here when Firefox removed the javascript switch, yet that is one of the best decision they made for their userbase.

Because everyone switched to NoScript instead.



What do you mean by "without a status bar"? What change is that in reference to? Sounds important...


This thread. Firefox is removing the <s>status bar</s>'addon bar'* in australis along with most of the rest of its customisability.

*Their preferred term even though everyone just installs Status4Evar and still has a status bar.


I'm pretty sure the number of people installing Status4Evar is pretty far away from "everyone".
