I had always customized Firefox's GUI to my own liking. When I first |
| 13 |
saw the Atrocious^H^H^H^H^H Austraulis gui, I said "No problem", I'll |
| 14 |
reconfigure it, like I've always done before". What really shocked me |
| 15 |
was not only the garbage gui, but the fact that you couldn't get a sane |
| 16 |
"classic" gui withing Firefox. The Firefox people obviously knew that |
| 17 |
users' first reaction would be to get rid of Australis, so they removed |
| 18 |
that ability. |

Extensions soon sprang up that sort of allowed you to go back to a |
| 21 |
sane desktop. But I didn't want to go that far. Australis was the |
| 22 |
breaking point. Attached is a sample of what the top of my Pale Moon |
| 23 |
gui looks like, which is how I used to do Firefax way-back-when. |

I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications |
