Firefox Redesign

Selena Deckelmann on blog.mozilla.org:

We redesigned these tabs so that they floated neatly, and we added the visual indicators, like blocking autoplay videos until youโ€™re ready to visit that tab. We detached the tab from the browser to invite you to move, rearrange and pull out tabs into a new window to suit your flow, and organize them so theyโ€™re easier for you to find.

I really like it. Very clean. Will use it the rest of the week — although I donโ€™t see myself leaving Brave.

Also of note: with the M1, all browsers feel crazy fast. Not sure if the baseline speed of these machines is the contributing factor, but Firefox 89 flies on my MacBook Air.
