Who stole the orange from Firefox 3?
I finally got around to installing FF3 today. The verdict? Nice browser, sub-standard chrome. And none of the available themes for OSX is any better.
The problem is that they turned Firefox.app into a Safari clone. I use both browsers, and one of the reasons why I use Firefox more is that I like the look of the interface. It’s less boring. It balances web content nicely. It’s saturated while still being professional. Safari is understated and serious. Firefox is bright and clever. Or was. As others have mentioned, Moz didn’t even get Safari right.
What really kills the deal for me is that they made the RSS icon blue. You know, because Safari’s is blue. :-p
It hurts my brain.
It’s also an odd move for an application whose branding is orange and blue to remove all the orange from their user interface.
