what Manner of Browser is that?

I miss the easily visible blue sliders. Although as the day wears on I am getting used to the feel of most of my system and app improvements

what Manner of Browser is that?

I miss the easily visible blue sliders. That is Firefox, with TabMixPlux extension (to reduce tab width, obtain multiple tab rows, etc.), Colrful Tbs, etc, which also work with the non-poltical Pale Moon derivative, though i had to search for older versions of the extensions for that.

Due to the level of enhancements, praise God, for power users they are far far superior to Chrome, IE.Edge, etc. and any others I have tried.

There is even an extension (BBCodeXtra) for formatting posts like this into html via custom scripts.

Some favs:
