I’m sure you and a hundred other people are interested in having that outdated looking colorful mess. It looks like Walt Disney threw up on your browser.

Attacking something for being aesthetically "outdated" is the worst POSSIBLE argument I can think of against the design of a user interface. I can think of no good argument against having damn near unlimited customization on modern browsers. I certainly wish I could have menu bars available as a default instead of the "hamburger" because the browser on my 42" screen has to accommodate a browser whose UI seems to be targeting 5" phones first.

True, but let’s be honest, it does look,like Disney there up on the desktop lol ( I’m not saying it isn’t useful, it is, it’s just kinda, well, out there lol 😄)

But you are right, one shouldn’t be insulted for preferring something that you or I don’t like.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and has nothing to do with functionality I suppose.

If I had my browser set up like that, there would be no room left for the web page. I’m running a laptop with a 15” screen at 1920x1080 pixel resolution.

Browser customization is strictly via addons/extensions and the creators of them create for purposes they desire. I’ve never found one I like for tab management so I use multiple browsers. I hate using a Mozilla product but firefox is the only browser that allows scrolling horizontally and prevents tabs from becoming so small there’s no text visible. Other browsers just keep shrinking them down so small they’re useless. I also run Waterfox and it’s my preferred browser because they’re kind of anti-Mozilla - pro-privacy. https://www.waterfox.net/

Yes, Mobile First is the current design preference for all things web because phone usage has surpassed PC. Some desktop programs are even taking on the look of an app. That’s progress for ya.

Indeed, and I appreciate your comments, as I do like varied colors, versus drab. As you might be able to tell from my (made vi word processor) web site:

It used to be a black background but someone said they did not like that!

"I certainly wish I could have menu bars available as a default "

Well, Google thinks otherwise, and it seems the best you can do with Chrome is install Proper Menubar for Google Chrome but which just adds another icon someplace near the "hambuger." Yet Firefox and Vivaldi both enable it. Which browser are you using?
