Hi Firefox Team, what you would say to make an UI adjustments regarding the https://arc.net/ which becomes very popular :) it could be a great opportunity to get some Windows and Linux users back, since they released Mac only so far. Also it's based on Chromium and it seems it is not an open-source yet. cc @mozilla @firefox @FirefoxNightly

@Carighan definitely not, gosh.. since I use Firefox over years and see how the user base is moving from the Firefox to the Chrome/Brave, even the Safari (Safari was second Explorer imho) so when I see these projects such as Arc I would just like to say to the Firefox team, hey guys maybe here is the opportunity to get some users back, imho it's mostly just about the UI layout.

I am unaware of any differences in iOS layout, isn't Firefox just a skin over Safari there? But doesn't it have its own UI? It's be weird if it were to not be reminiscent of other Firefox instances, no?

You seem to not know about the recent improvements to Safari. https://www.magiclasso.co/insights/triumph-of-safari/

Don't get me wrong, I do love Firefox and it's my primary browser on Windows and Linux.

@auf Yes, overall what I wanted to point out, how it's possible that Firefox loses massive user base each quarter. We know, probably it's because they don't hear their users. And this is the main reason of my topic, to say, hey, let's see again there is something new, which doesn't have to be so much hard to do and people like it, and what could help Firefox in some sense ;)
