Some of the design decisions and indecisions that have come from the UX team has led me to feel like none of them actually use Android, let alone Firefox for Android. But I’d absolutely love to be wrong about this and just ignorant of their vision and their passion for modern Android design. It can’t be easy to try and deploy designs and see a design come to fruition, only to not have the staff to implement it. It’s worth mentioning that the size of Fenix Team is miniscule compared to the desktop team or even the combined sum of people working on AI. Which is crazy given the size of the mobile market.

That said, they got there in the end and I’m happy with the implementation whereby they put the navigation at the top for people who want the address bar at the top and at the bottom for people who want the address bar at the bottom.

Only when there’s prefilled text IIRC

It’s client based. The web UI doesn’t have the text.

Summit removed it and then brought it back because PieFed kept shitting the bed. Yay, degraded user experience for everyone!

Obsidian?

Try http rather than https

There are a billion cat pics on the internet, why the need for an AI generated one?

Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to share. It’s certainly food for thought.

Revamp the settings, so they are clear, simple and all there.

I’m intrigued. Do you mind sharing your thoughts about this? What’s the issue as it stands and how would you like to see things improved?

This whole post reads like a tantrum. So you don’t like modern design convention AND you don’t like having to customise the browser to look like how you want… okay.

Kill off all AI in the browser. And don’t re-add it!

This confuses me because all the other browsers have integrated AI, so removing it makes little sense. I do think it will eventually move to the OS though and that time can’t come soon enough.

I use SearXNG 🤓

Who asked for this exactly?

Me!

That said, navigation should be at the bottom and I believe all feedback they’ve gotten says the same thing, so it should be fixed soon. 🤞🏾

Good luck.

Innit!

This is just xenophobia and political posturing, actual policy is too much to ask.

Firefox with Enhanced Tracking Protection set to Strict and uBlock Origin along with LocalCDN installed.

Android seeing where you’re going is by design, there’s no circumventing that.

Hardly asking for a diagram. But outside of Tor, what do the others offer over Firefox really? So it’s a valid question.

Define privacy, because all of these browsers report each URL you visit to the operating system.
