"The new Australis interface has finally landed in beta. Is this really a step forward or has the Mozilla user designers lost their mind once again? Sure, if you are ok with the default user interface and don't tweak it to suit your needs then the new UI is not too different from previous releases. But if you, like me, like to change the interface to suit your needs, then the new Australis UI will probably not rock your world, it certainly doesn't rock mine. I can no long get the stop/reload button out of the url bar, the forward/back buttons are locked next to the url bar and so on. Beta Sucks, anyone?"

    I use Pale Moon, a fork from Mozilla/Firefox that keeps a simple, stable UI. Thus far the project maintainer has rolled bug fixes from Mozilla in at a decent pace. All the Firefox plug-ins I use work with it fine.

    If (when?) that project is no longer sufficient I'm just going to throw up my hands and use IE11. I just don't care anymore about damn browsers. Although that might be because Usenet is starting to seem like a good idea again...

    You're joking of course, but a huge number of FuckBeta-ers wound up on Usenet at comp.misc and it's pretty good. I still visit this site and I like Pipedot.com quite a bit. And I still visit that other site once in a while.

    But give Usenet a try and you'll be surprised. There are some decent newsreaders for iOS and Android too, and it's very bandwidth efficient.

    comp.misc for the win.
