I tried a MacBook touchpad in the Apple store and I didn't get what the fuss was about. It has that annoying feature where when you click the cursor freezes for some period of time, which stops you clicking on multiple things in quick succession. It didn't feel any more precise to me in terms of pointing. I realise it has gesture support that works in close harmony with OS features, but just in terms of pointing and clicking it was nothing special.

Why would you base that decision solely on your experience 14 years ago? The driver is completely different now.

Well, the comparison of cooking rice that way to making instant coffee is apt

How's the redesign ugly?

But then you are probably using the WebExtension compatibility shim which severely reduces the performance gains in the newest versions anyway.
