>The strangest thing about this is in the system configuration dialogs where they have a set of really gee whizzy modern configuration screens but you still have to go into 15 year old screens to do many common tasks

I much prefer the older screens. They are so much easier to use.

>Not the same thing dude. This interface is straight outta 2005. Chrome's interface has been being tweaked constantly over the years. It doesn't need an overhaul because it's not 15+ years out of date.

You basically repeated my point. Change for change's sake. And it looks similar to 2009 Chrome, so yeah it's quite literally 15 years out of date.

>look like it was there when 9/11 happened while everything else looks new

So change for change's sake it seems.

It looks perfectly fine to me.

Changing for change's sake would mean that Chrome will need a new interface soon in order to not look ancient...

Pull-down menus are so obtrusive! You SHOULD prefer to hunt and hunt and hunt for the button you want. The future is now and it sucks.
