I hate that there are now no clear dividers between the tabs. Any way to get them back?
Too bad it still doesn't have bookmark sync with iCloud on macOS. One feature I really want.
Edge is just the best for me. Making your own apps is just incredibly convenient. Hulu, Youtube, Plex etc… just fantastic.
same. i switched from FF (and Chrome before that) to Edge about a month ago and haven't looked back.
They're dark on mine.
There's a free area next to the traffic light buttons, although I highly recommend Swish and then never bothering to grab a window again.
Really dislike the extra vertical space everything consumes. On wide screen monitors every vertical pixel is at a premium, don't use them without a really good reason.
The menus were always customisable - in terms of buttons displayed I don’t see what’s changed.
The tabs though - they don’t look like tabs anymore, they look like buttons. That no longer gives them the feel of owning all the UI elements below them which are tab specific (address bar, back/forward buttons, content, etc). I don’t like it, it breaks the metaphor consistency (mind you so does Safari’s stupid placement of the address bar above the tabs).

This is how I feel about Safari in Big Sur. The most obvious thing about FF and Safari's diverging opinons is where the + for new tab should be.
At least FF has it next to your existing tabs, like how safari used to.
They don’t stretch all the way across any more than they did - I’m not sure what you mean? Anyway, there’s a menu option to turn on a proper title bar. I’m a fan of that.
I feel like Designer's job is to elegantly add new features, not futz with old features.
There is a place on both sides to grab. If that is not sufficient, you can enable a title bar.
I agree. It’s horrible, and is clearly taking a queue from Big Sur. Just awful.
I really don't understand the trend to make everything bigger in the operating systems/apps that use precise cursor to navigate.
Why would anyone use this when Safari does it all with better privacy, better security, and best-in-class experience and performance?
Firefox has become a memory hog full of memory leaks ever since they attempted bottle up caches/cookies.
Will this fix that? Cause not being able to see tabs where the tab is seems like basic functionality. Do they even use their own product?
