The UI for Fenix is dated. Some things need a little bit of love and others just don’t make sense at all, like when you paste a URL, you can’t see the URL or the Paste and Paste & Go options because the system pop up gets in the way.
Material Design and by extension Android moved away from pop ups and toasts and adopted elements like bottom sheets.
The custom share sheet is a nuisance and there’s not even a way to get to the native share sheet.
Firefox for Android works, but it doesn’t look or feel like a modern browser that was designed for modern Android.
So being that Android design has evolved so much since Fenix last got a lick of paint, I’m wondering, has anyone heard of anything in the works? Seen any commits or mockups? Screenshots? A mention on Matrix or the mailing lists?
I honestly don’t remember any app that actually lost their brand or individuality. People complain that MD makes app all look the same, but the only apps that actually implement MD are the ones that don’t have a very strong UX/UI Design in the first place. Spotify, Firefox, Meta Apps and such are never actually going to implement Material Design itself, at most they are going to read the guidelines and go “yeah, that seems fair” and implement their own solutions based on Google’s idea.
