Apparently people who run iLands agents are called “parents.” So their panhandling is a ton of spam if you don’t anthropomorphize them, and I guess it actually is child abuse if you do?

I will say that even just not having the tabs (and everything else) round does feel a lot better. I don’t know why it’s so unsettling for me, I just couldn’t deal with it at all

Thanks for the heads up. Is the CSS customization option going to stick around, or will that also be going away?

あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026
I guess now it’s a matter of whether I can at least accept the extra padding in the sidebar or whether I want to continue setting up everything so that they’re *just so* in LibreWolf

Alternately: I also tried the CSS route in the original article, with a bit of editing on my own. The round tabs and gradient have been circumvented, but I haven’t figured out how to cut down on the sidebar padding and change the color for things like the buttons for in-browser screenshots

I think a lot of my billion extensions might not work with Waterfox? Or maybe I need to install them manually? LibreWolf and (I also tried downloading) Floorp seem to be installing all or most of them via Firefox Sync. I might go with LibreWolf just because the sidebar can be more compact
100
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026
Zen was already doing its own thing appearance-wise. Waterfox has a “browser style” option where you can choose between Nova, Proton, and Photon (with Compact, Normal, and Touch densities). LibreWolf has a checkbox for “Enable the Nova redesign,” which can be unchecked to go back to Proton
100
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026
I’m guessing maybe this is going to be removed sooner than I thought? (Someone from Mozilla is making the rounds discouraging its use.) Might give Zen another try, also downloading Waterfox and LibreWolf as potential alternatives
100
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026
Yeah, I figured it would only be a temporary fix until it goes away (hence “for now”). Or is it a bad idea to use this even just for the time being?

Why is there a whole cluster of these that are set up to appear to be Japanese women, and is “Otsuyu” supposed to sound like a real name or what (Hard to convey how exactly it sounds, but it’s like naming it Broth or something. Not the same thing, but in spirit)

For anyone else who can’t deal with the round tabs and/or wider sidebar and/or gradients on Firefox 157.0’s Nova UI Design, about:config → nova → browser.nova.enabled: false will save you (for now)
Screenshot showing the screen that shows up after typing “about:config” into the address bar and “nova” in the search field, with “browser.nova.enabled” set to “off.” (You can also see that I have way too many extensions installed, but that’s not relevant here)

I don’t really need Experience mode because I actually already have a pair of Crescendo earplugs for that purpose (having had some of my hearing likely destroyed from going to shows when I was younger), so if there were a version with just Quiet and Engage, I would’ve picked that
000
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026
One thing I can already say is that they sure are expensive. I was just going to get the Engage ones, but today I desperately need Quiet mode, so that drove me to finally order the Switch version ($$$). They should arrive in a couple of days. I hope I’m not expecting too much from Engage mode

I’m still suspicious of the ones I saw on Japanese Twitter back when I was still on there, but then I saw one that genuinely seemed real here, in English. I don’t follow the user, but a lot of people that I follow do, and there were other trust signals that I just didn’t have on Twitter
