Firefox is getting a new look on June 1.

I do not mind the redesign (apart from the atrocious tabs made by people who apparently do not understand the concept of a tab), but there is something else that bothers me.

Comparing the trend with cottagecore, Vox reporter Rebecca Jennings notes that "the simple act of putting on a blazer and reading Dostoevsky is far more doable."

Because of course it is.
