A full redesign every 4 years really is insane. And for what? Is the usability really better? I just hope this also improves customization, because they keep breaking the ability to change browser colors.
Their biggest challenge is getting attention, because most users just use the default browser. A redesign brings them into the news, as can be seen above.
Too many UX designers needing to justify their jobs leads to this. It also leads to less customisation options, since they also seem to take it as an insult when someone doesn’t like their “masterpiece” as is.
You need way more than designers to do a full UI redesign. And less customization is really just a product of engineering. It takes way longer to make something fast and customizable. So they choose fast.

They’ve also broken the plugin API more times than I can remember. Wonder if they’ll do it again with this redesign.
