I suppose the difficult part is figuring when you've crossed the fine line from "good enough for now" to "this is becoming a monstrosity, we need to hire developers and create our own software now"
The second difficult part is when the team that built the "good enough for now" realizes that the line was crossed, that they do not have the skills to be part of the "hire developers and create our own software now" solution and then start subtly, or even openly, sabotaging every effort to move away from the Excel/VBA solution.
Tell that to the new programmer who builds a piece of software using this creating an absolute mess.
The danger here isn't with experienced developers (this is, obviously, a tool with great potential for productivity). It's with people who just blindly trust what the robot spits out.
Once code like that is implemented in a mission-critical system without discernment, all hell will break loose.
Tell that to the HR departments responsible for hiring developers at major companies.
Not hiring subpar developers, especially in a massive company isn't a matter of "if" but "when." And it only takes one screw up to crash an airplane because of software.
And guess who massive companies trust for their technology?
What is the hard boundary between you and your AI companion?
What happens when people think their "self driving" cars are more capable than they actually are? Many times, you are better off in a dumb car, because your expectations are such that you have to pay attention to a continuous stream of events and respond in a stateful manner.
If you try to bootstrap a holistic understanding of your problem in between bursts of auto-generated code, I don't think you are going to have a fantastic time of it.
The lack of tab separators and the poor contrast between the tab bar and the rest of the chrome are my biggest issues. Chrome has both tab separators and higher contrast between the tab section and the rest. And of course, the old Firefox design also has tab separators and very high contrast.
One of my biggest complaints about Firefox is how much work I have to do in my userChrome.css to make it look nice. My current one is almost 400 lines and it's mostly adding separators/element padding, changing border radiuses and disabling hover and focus styles.
I never wanted a carbon copy of Chrome, just something that looked good, so I'm glad to see Firefox provide a nicer default experience and add its own unique style. It's actually pretty similar to MaterialFox anyway, aside from the "floating" tab style and slightly higher vertical space usage.
Not really, theme is currently only allowed to alter css variables(basically colors). There is a special type addon that do allow to alter the browser theme directly (behave like userChrome.css). But that requires addon signing from mozilla and enable certain hidden control in about:config. Basically not likely done by a general user.
that and the container highlight has moved to the top of the tab. On windows 10, i am having a difficult time identifying which tabs are in a container and which are not...
Hm, your tabs don't have favicons. I can still clearly differentiate tabs because of the spacing, though I guess if you had a lot of tabs with very minimal spacing, you might get some visual ambiguity.
Personally, the previous design was fine and this one is too. Neither has made any meaningful difference to my user experience.
Edit:
Scratch that. I've just noticed that tabs can now have a sort of status line, telling me, for example, that's it's playing something. There was functionality sort of like this before, but this is a nice improvement. Great.
This addon looks good, but I'm too tired to have to relearn new locations of elements, differences in UI, changes in context menus every 1.5 year Mozilla decided to improve shit. I've been using Firefox since Phoenix 2002, but this time I'm giving up. Moved all to Brave Browser.
