Iconless menus – another effect of the toxic minimalism trend. Icons in menus such as the mobile web browser and device settings help finding items faster!

In 2014, Samsung removed icons from the upper right menu of their mobile Internet browser. At some point, roughly 2017, they realized it was a bad idea and brought them back. Could've told ya that earlier. 😁

    @iiii It was the fastest browser and supports the clipboard manager (which other browsers do not), as well as having a convenient quick dial feature. A grid with quick shortcuts appears at the URL bar.

    Not sure how it is in 2022, but in the mid-2010s, it was noticeably faster than Chrome and Firefox mobile.

    Chrome mobile also only added icons in 2020.

    @exerceo today it probably is just a chrome fork with more spyware or how was it 10 years ago?

    @jonas-w ah okay it seems to be more integrated into the one ui experience, drag and drop of pictures and URLs from the browser to other apps and stuff

    But i will never let go from my Firefox with ublock experience
