Comment Re:I use Firefox all the time (Score 2) 181

Install the beta version and you'll see it. My first impression was "ooh shiny I like it!" but the article has a whole lot of truth in it.

It's the same flat UI everyone roasted Windows 8/10 for going towards. Apple is doing it / has done it to iOS and OS X.

Mozilla shouldn't get a pass. They may do other things great, but UI isn't one of them.

The menu change in my opinion isn't too terrible or noticeable. The flat tabs are a pain though. I just deal with it in Chrome or Edge because they have other features that make them worthwhile.

All that said, I still use Firefox here and there mostly because of it's distinct interface. It's just an easy way to shift my brain that I'm working with X group of open windows/tabs vs what I got going on in Chrome or Edge.

I don't use it as my primary because of the features it doesn't have or support as well as it's competitors.

  This would pretty much make me uninstall Firefox or use it even less since it will look just like Edge or Chrome. My only (and you can roast me for this since there's more elegant ways to do this) use case for it would be to test other sites and a hacky way to launch a browser on a specific monitor/resolution.

Comment Re:I Use MIL-STD Hard Cases with Belt Holsters (Score 1) 177

Resale == best reason to keep your phones in a case at all times. Especially iPhones which already have great resale value. Just have to pick a decent case which can be admittedly hard if you don't read reviews or able to see one in person/know someone who has one already.

Otterboxes are "okay" if you can get them for 20-40 bucks -- but they're bulky, let in dust and don't have the best build quality.

Lifeproofs seem like the holy grail, but since they were bought by Otterbox their build quality took a hit. Having to use a dongle (heh) if you still have a headphone jack can be a pain since they're easily lost or malfunction with enough use.

Have a ballistic case on my iPhone SE (Rose gold, 64gb still mint, tyvm) and it's just right for me. Built-in screen protector is a pain if it gets dirty and touch ID can be harder to use until your thumb gets used to the case.
