As if they didn't have anything better to do again, Mozilla employees have completely fucked up the design of the addons repository to look more like Google's.
Another shining example of change for the sake of change, while serious bugs and performance reports keep being ignored years after years, and loved features keep being removed because "it'd be too much trouble to maintain them" (but completely changing the addons site without any reason is a completely fine waste of resources, it seems).

don't like don't use fucktard.
bitching about it on the internet won't make anyone change their mind.
>Everyone still uses IE and Chrome
Another shining example of a fuckwit on /g/ thinking companies can only put resources towards one thing at a time.
The people developing the addons site are not the people taking care of the bugs and performance reports, and them changing the addon site does not have any net effect (positive or negative) on the shit you're complaining about because that's likely an entirely different team.
And desu from the webdevs I've known, you probably wouldn't want them working on the browser anyways.
>hi leik can i add this framework to the browser
This is nothing. Thea real meat will be this:

Enjoy a possible future real Mozilla Chrome clone made with react. Who knows about the decisions which Mozilla made since Australis implementation knows that this is a real declaration of war against features, choices, powerful add-ons and ricing as a whole.

where the fuck did that come from

Let me explain something about the software industry. You hire n designers and the managers and support staff needed to design your software.
Maybe they do a great job. Wonderful! Now what do they do? Well, they start coming up with more designs because what the fuck else are they going to do? Change for the sake of keeping your job.
It's not like programming. You hire 10 of these guys and most of the time you're going to need them indefinitely. You'll probably need even more of them. Why? Because software is hard. There are bugs. There are little bugs and big changes that need to get done all the time.
Design is more of a one and done thing, or even something that only needs updating every few years.

Dat wasted space design tho

Mozilla has a finite budget. All dollars that went towards this were taken away from a project that mattered.
