Comment on Metro Browser Mock Up Detail by rajadain
So basically you want my design as long as you can change it all? 
I agree completely: this aesthetic is new and doesn't sit well with everyone (My father pointed out four faults as soon as he saw it
). I would say that those who don't like it can always use other browsers but that would be unfair. I myself have to use Firefox 4b, Palemoon 3.6, Chrome 10b and IE 9rc for different things, and it drives me nuts. People should be able to customize their thing to one option, and stick with it.
I like your suggestion about the protocol visibility / indication. I've been thinking about how to fit more info in the URL bar, and this certainly helps!
I *never* use the forward button on any browser, but I've seen others do it, so I guess it is kinda important to have. Will do, sir!
And I also realized that the constantly changing colors (by site, and would they change while scrolling ??!) can get nauseating after a while. It should be possible to select your fav color (Fart Green!
) and use that for everything.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm glad you liked it!

Weellll... Its more like, "you should leave your design customizeable to a standard. That way you don't have the problems like FireFox's browser, but you're not constrained to the uniformity of IE.
I use the forward 'button' on my browser a lot - I have a special mouse with L/R side buttons, so I never really use the browsers Icons, but you should at least include the option to have it/support it.
Another cool thing about what you could do with the adaptive window-colour idea, is turn it on/off/preset for different pages, that way you can have it that any facebook tabs are the facebook blue, or any dA tabs are that weird greenish/blue colour/bing pages be orange/etc.
I actually REALLY like this.
If Microsoft were to adapt this as a theme into IE9, I would totally use it over Chrome. =]
