Before that, let’s talk about how Mozilla has updated its browser for better performance.
And that’s exactly where Firefox still falls a little short.
However, if you’re anything like me, the design alone won’t convince you to switch. Except for a new material design coat (which was delayed by a couple of years), Google seems to have forgotten about the front-end of its desktop browser. This is especially more apparent when you look at how little has changed with Chrome over the last years. You can cherry-pick which elements should be on the toolbar by merely dragging and dropping them, how much space should be in between them and more.įirefox Quantum’s refreshing new design represents the ethos of Mozilla’s redefined path and I have to say, I’m impressed. Apart from placing components precisely where they would be the most helpful, it also allows you to customize a lot more than before. It’s relatively more pragmatic than previous versions. Photon is also not only about how Firefox looks. Photon brings dramatic changes to each element of the browser including new playful animations, separate accents for differentiating the active tab, fresh themes, and subtle shadows to highlight layers. It’s built using the company’s own design language called “Photon” which abandons the rusty old rounded interface in favor of a snazzy and more flat approach.
Design plays a major role and without a doubt, Firefox Quantum is the most aesthetically pleasing and modern browser you can install right now.
The 57.0 update for Firefox almost revamps every bit of the browser you can think of.
Note: This review was conducted on a late-2014 MacBook Pro running MacOS High Sierra. It’s been more than a week since then and here’s what I think of it. I downloaded Firefox again to check if those initial hiccups have been squashed off and whether the company’s claims had any real-life veracity. And in the original launch post, it made no bones about dethroning Chrome. A few weeks ago, Mozilla publicly rolled out the update. Eventually, in a couple of days, I moved back to Chrome.įirefox Quantum, however, is no longer in beta. Unfortunately, things didn’t quite work out well. In a hope to be finally free of the Chrome monarchy, I had high expectations for what Firefox’s new platform had to offer. your name should resolveĨ.When Mozilla originally made the Quantum update for its Firefox browser official, I was one of the few early testers to jump onboard.
