A famous person used to say that the important thing is that you talk about yourself even if it is bad. I do not know if it will be true but in the Ubuntu Project it is what is happening. It seems that Ubuntu is not spared from controversy even if it does things well. In recent days a tough controversy over Ubuntu web browser icon. An icon that reminds another of a proprietary brand, yes, indeed I am talking about Safari. And of which many have complained about its similarity and little customization.
Ubuntu's browser icon has changes to avoid patent infringement
The truth is that Apple registered the Safari icon and all its designs, so the Ubuntu web browser doesn't really look like that but has several changes. It is true that the Ubuntu browser icon has a world map and the compass needle, but their colors are different, although at first glance it does not seem so and the direction of the needle changes substantially to avoid patents and legal problems.
But the truth is that many developers support a more drastic change of the icon, a change that of personality to the application. Given these words, the Ubuntu design team has spoken and has been clear: your priority is not the icon. According to several members of the Design team, the team's priority is that their designs are functional and practicalIn this regard, they care about the performance of the designs and not about whether a certain icon is pretty or not. Currently, they say, their problems are different and they have to focus on it, but still they do not rule out a future change, the only thing that now is not.
Personally I think that the icon could be changed, but it is also true that Ubuntu doesn't take its browser project very seriously, at least not as serious as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, so it may not even bother to change its icon. Despite this, it must be recognized that there are more pressing problems than changing or talking about the icon of an application, an icon that can also be changed by the one we want, that for that Ubuntu offers that customization Do not you think?
The truth is that there will always be someone who is unhappy with something. The point is to get noticed. You do not like the icon because you change it and you do not give war.
I do not know what the problem, now we are going to complain about windo $ because in its version 10 it uses several desktops
that ubuntu browser is useless
The new browser is green but we must have a little bit of it .. before I didn't like Ubuntu because I saw it very old now I like its design better and I use it 100
