あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026I 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 100
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026Thanks for the heads up. Is the CSS customization option going to stick around, or will that also be going away? 100
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026I 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 100
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026This helps for less round everything: www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS... There’s also code to remove the gradient in the repliesreddit.comFrom the FirefoxCSS community on RedditExplore this post and more from the FirefoxCSS community 100
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026Alternately: 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 100
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026I 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 · 02/10/2026Zen 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 · 02/10/2026I’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 · 02/10/2026Yeah, 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? 100
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026(SO MANY affiliate blogs. SO MANY. Legitimate websites obviously do exist, but seem to be run by people who’ve never heard of SEO. Nor should they have to care about that, but it’s part of why you’re inundated by affiliate blogs, I think) 000
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026This is why I’m still mostly AI-averse. I don’t have people who use it for coding in my life, but my Japanese friends use it as a Magical Answer Machine. Unfortunately I think I do understand why; searching in Japanese has been even worse of an experience than searching in English for ages now, imo 110

あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026Hmm I keep getting “Could not save your avatar. Please try again.” (although it really is completely nonsensical on my avatar, lol) 100
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026I think it sounds fun, not that my avatar is particularly hat-conducive or anything. Personally I’d prefer the plain color, but I do see how the glimmer would help with visibility 110
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026Why 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) 112
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026For 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) 110
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026I 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 · 02/10/2026One 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 100
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026I’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 100
あ @aiueo.ooo · 02/10/2026Finally ordered a pair of Loop earplugs. I’ve been tempted for several years now but was always suspicious that the rave reviews I’ve seen must be undisclosed ads 100
