Comment: Please buck the industry trends to more obscure and less efficient interface!

This is more a comment than a question.

For various reasons (usually asthetics, sometimes for small screens) one trend in user interface design is to hide everything. The other is to make asthetics win over usability.

Please don't hide everything. Make it hidden if necessary on small screens but not on the high-res screen I bought so I can show every toolbar I need to work efficiently.

Second, if you want to put the refresh button way, way over on the right side, away from all the other most-used buttons (back, forward), then please give us the ability to move it back and make it more efficient again. Also allow us to put those most used buttons on the far left (back, forward, refresh, home), which requires less mouse accuracy to find. They don't have to be next to the URL bar.

I'll go use the legacy plug-in to fix it, but it's sad that trying to work efficiently isn't a valuable design criteria anymore.

Thanks for a great product. I installed a metallic flavored browser while going through the problems of heartbleed and now things crash way more--a problem I never had with just firefox.
