I’m really not a fan of this whole rust movement. Statically linked binary, no ta.
I’ve started looking for another c/c++ based shell to go back to, now that fish has moved to rust (ideally ones that follow xdg config specs etc). Ysh (oils) is current choice.
Exactly, like I dont think it should have been removed. I had been using it daily. I’m just wondering how they concluded that a big enough chunk of the community wanted tab groups (back) to justify the investment. Or indeed, have they learned from their mistakes just ripping stuff out.
Don’t get me wrong, they aren’t the only one. Ie chrome being insane and ripping out jpegxl etc.
Pleased they are back - however, the back and forth decisions by firefox is giving me whiplash.

8 years ago they deleted working tab groups and claimed like a fraction of a percent used them. Now they are back…
They are making and killing stuff so fast. Lockwise, send, vpn, etc
So I love CSD, but I do agree that the padding, and rounded corners on every element is crap. There is dozens of studies into mistakes / productivity loss when you need to scroll. Programming, accounting, writing etc - everything benefits from more space.
I remember switching from windows to linux for day to day, and finding myself f’king about way more in a debugger to get the info needed (eclipse in this case). Took screenshots in linux and windows… has lost about 20% of screen estate. Horrible.
We’ve spent decades adding more monitors, and now its all been taken by touch screen garbage.
The sad thing is, GTK and its css classes are probably the best potential for good UI, just the fat finger touch screen requirements has it borderline unusable for a professional desktop.
