    The tab could have some other useful things… If Mozilla allowed some form of customization or extensibility. Big clock, weather, and the stuff they have right now (icons) are pretty useful too.

    There’s a reason UI/UX people design these things, and one day I’ll figure out what it is.

      I can see color being used to help encode themed tabs for the end user. Red theme for media tab groups, grey for research groups, etc. Might be cool

      I mean shit, Linux people customize the absolute dick out of their computers down to fine tuning the kernel, and people are poo-pooing this?

      I find it super distracting. The only reason I ever open a new tab is to search or enter a URL, so all I need is it to focus in the URL bar. Or I guess seeing open tabs on other devices, the new pinned tab thing they added solves that.

      I’m okay with it existing, as long as there’s an easy way to turn it all off. I use Brave for testing, and I dislike the new tab page there. My OS has a clock, and I can get OS widgets for everything else, I just want my browser to browse…
