From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have to admit, I really don't like this. The old logo looked pretty neat and the "://" part was a stroke of genius.

The moz://a logo is really genius. I wonder if their current leadership is so incompetent that they don't even understand the :// part of the logo...

I think that question can be answered by the recent horrible series of decisions by them. Mozilla really has been captured by the roots of enshittification at this point.

They even implemented it in Firefox: moz://a redirects to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/

As will any moz://

I 100% agree. I don't mind design refreshes. I think I'm in the minority of loving the current Firefox logo.

But this just sucks. They really took their unique, clever wordmark logo (but still very modern and minimal!) and replaced it with a bland, trendy 2022 typeface.

I know this is super petty, but this might convince me to find another password manager and method for syncing tabs. Might try librewolf, too. Rebranding invites users to re-evaluate their view on a brand, and mine isn't changing for the better.

Yeah, I remember the first time I saw the :// thing I felt myself having a little design-gasm.
This doesn't touch the same spot for me...
