Why does it open in this side tab instead of just opening in a separate window like it did for years, was that just too convenient and easy to use? Reverse image search died for this shit? Whoever implemented this unironically needs to kill themselves.

If you're still using jewgle you might find Image Search Options quite useful.

I like black on grey, which is how it was way back in the day.

That Sun Microsystems one is just beautiful... I always loved their really creative logo and the purple color scheme.

sharp corners are points, and hitler's salute ended in a point, therefore sharp corners by their very existence are offensive

even the posts on this very forum have round corners

opposite of Current Year web design:

Corners, nice looking-art with shading, lack of animated effects, no endless scrolling, no "this site uses cookies" popups, not JavaScript heavy, works on all browsers ...

Blame Apple's adversion to sharp corners. The rest just follow their steps.

not JavaScript heavy

How about no JewScript at all.

If something can be done with plain HTML, then JavaScript isn't needed. Like email.

It's just as you said. Rounded corners are associated with "safety", while sharp edges are associated with "danger". It's a psychological trick to make you "trust" whatever dogshit modern website or app you're using.

I get by using the userscript Unround Everything Everywhere, but it has its flaws in the fact that it literally squares every single circle without exception.

Fuck Firefox, use Librewolf. Ublock Origin already installed, strict Firefox settings already enabled, strict fingerprint protection, letterboxing etc. I have noticed my machines running a lot faster and smoother with Librewolf compared to Firefox and Brave.

is there a way to import bookmarks and data from firefox to librewolf?

 

[Kosher Dill]

is there a way to import bookmarks and data from firefox to librewolf?

You can import/export the bookmarks via Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks->Import and Backup.
Stored logins can be exported to CSV from about:logins (standard warnings apply, the file is in plaintext, etc etc). They can be imported back, but you may need to enable signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled in about: config on the new browser if it isn't already.
Most of the worthwhile addins will have their own config import/export features too.

I wouldn't bother with trying to copy over your cookies or history or any of that, I don't think there's any easy way.

Does that include saved passwords?

The saved usernames/passwords are what you can export/import from about:logins. But you'd still need to actually log in again with them.

More and more sites seem to be going nonfunctional unless you use very specific browsers (maybe with specific anti-privacy settings).

a less popular, less "powerful" browser

I heard a reason sites are getting very picky about browsers is at least in part because designers nowadays usually deign for Chrome.

You should consider using KeePassXC to store your passwords. Browser password storage is unreliable.
