Frankly I'm sick of the "it has extensions, it can do anything attidute". I only want mouse gestures, and Firefox doesn't have an extension that actually works all the time (which is the whole purpose of mouse gestures).
No, I don't want mouse gestures that use a ton of CPU, stops working in forms and stops working randomly.
Maybe the idea is good, but as long as the extensions aren't checked for quality, it's a bit annoying really.
And what "slick UI"? I can't see it. On Windows I only see:
- Fade in, but not out(!) on tab buttons.
- Menu items aren't the same size. Some are 17px, others are 20px.
- Moving the cursor quickly over a menu header makes it look hovered, enen when not until a timeout.
- If you open the menu with the keyboard while the cursor is over a menu item, you need to move the cursor 2 pixels to activate that menu. The correct is 1 pixel.
- They still can't draw dotted rectangles around active controls without getting two dots beside each other (there should always be a space in between).
- They can't draw the dotted rectangles in the correct size either. They should be around the text on checkbox controls, but they are much bigger. And mis-aligned.
- The menu is placed in a toolbar, and they forgot to remove the top border on the toolbar.
- Etc...
Only very small things, but when there are so many of them, the UI simply isn't polished or slick.
