Chrome's UI remains an anathema to me--its strict requirements regarding how one is supposed to organize tabs and so forth are bogwash, and I'll be sticking with Firefox, which allows me to do whatever the fuck I want re UI component placement and usage, with the help of some extensions, until death do us part.

Chrome is the Apple of browsers and it should burn in a fire wrt how it mandates and imposes specific UI patterns on users. Mozilla, for all their "we're trying to make extensions more chromelike" seems to be holding onto that.

Most people like opinionated UI design because it makes things easier and intuitive e.g. iPhone.
