I just want to small, simple, fast, low memory browser that shows pages - I don't want 1,000,000 features and confusions.

Thunderbird is an email client, not a web browser.

I hope I can opt back into the more dense display that we currently have. Some other parts look quite nice however.

I’ve been using the beta for some weeks, and it’s fantastic. snappy fast, and makes me feel in control.

I’m not using (and probably never will) any of the non-email features like the calendar, or the chat. But they are relatively hidden away, so they don’t bother me.

I appreciate that they have maintained information density. otoh I think they should try and stick as much as possible to the looks of the OS where thunderbird is running - you are building a desktop application, not a website.

Of course it's pretty hard when not even microsoft seems to know what Windows should look like.

This looks good! It has not reached my distribution yet, I hope this refreshed UI will be more convenient than the current one (which has done its job for the past 20 years but has some quirks like not having a straightforward way to follow a mail thread to my knowledge - well, it has but all the mails need to be in the same folder but sent mails are in the sent folder and received mails are in the received messages folder)

Nice updates from Thunderbird team.

But will E-mail on the whole ever get features like other chat platform? Even conversation view is not good on the eye. Quoting is ugly in long Email body.

Maybe only protocols are getting updated!? I think email is only still here because its a form of identification.

Most companies and groups are moving towards Discord, Slack, etc. for a proper discussion.
