Re: [Dev Build] Australis is landing in Firefox Nightly

> Nope. A car is a car if you look head on to the grill.

When I was young (a long time ago, in the age of "Datsun" & before), I could identify, distinctly, EVERY car on the road.

Today, yes, a car is a car. It's like who cares any more. All the personality is gone.

And yes, that is what the browser & OS too are beginning to look like. Everything homogenized, somogenized. You can't tell what "app" you're in. Internet Explorer could just as well be Windows Explorer, they look the same. And if FF looks like Chrome, looks like ... then at that point, it becomes, "who cares". And why bother.

Yesterday I downloaded & took a quick look at "Austraiis" & was like, eh, a browser. Then, uh, where did my (extension) icons go? Then, uh, where is my component bar? Then I was like, eh, a browser.

Me, I'll stick with the one that stands out, that is different, that retains its personality & works they way I want it to work.

Now where did I park my Peugeot (504D, ah, what a car )!

Which browser is that? It's sure not Firefox!
