Firefox’s Huge Redesign Throws Down the Gauntlet to Google Chrome

Mozilla Firefox’s huge new redesign is its biggest overhaul in three years, and it’s taken a variety of features right from the playbook of Google Chrome.

Firefox’s new, much sleeker look marks its biggest visual improvement since 2011, as it looks to court back the users it may have lost since cofounded and former CEO Brendan Eich stepped down from his role following OKCupid’s allegations of homophobia

Visually, the update looks much better right out of the gate, with less clutter around its address bar and its features and settings neatly tucked away in the right-hand corner.

You can also bookmark pages with a click of the ‘star’ button.

For a while now Google Chrome has boasted the most user-friendly UI but the new Firefox, with its three-bar menu that mimics its competitor, has certainly made a giant leap forward in this respect.
