And even more exactly, it's "9 people out of all Firefox users who saw this on Hacker News and cared enough to leave a comment dislike this UI"

Tbf, 9 users is a not insignificant number of their userbase. I say that as someone who has only ever used Firefox as my default browser.

But yeah it seems like every release of ff there's a vocal group saying how it's going to pot and it's all doom and gloom.

I have been using ff since it was called Phoenix and it's fine. I fire up Chrome and Edge out of necessity for work and have never been compelled to switch.

Maybe I just don't need whatever it is that Chrome has that makes it so special but all the browsers are pretty decent these days.

At some point around IE11 I realized I wasn't writing W3C standards HTML/JS and then having to hack it for noncompliant browsers. I wrote code once and it just worked.
