So much f*ing empty padding/whitespace.

Safari’s minimalist UI was tight and perfect. Took up minimum space and let you get on with it. Absolutely no one said what would be great is if we could have Padding += 20 and nothing else changed. Job done boys. Commit to master and let’s hit the pub.

Well, they did speed it up, or so they claim. OTOH, the Finder windows look tidier, at least in the article's screen shots.

...until you add in the path bar, multiple tabs, etc. It only looks minimal with the minimum amount of UI features enabled. IMHO it looked way more cluttered than the current version with anything besides the basic, minimal set of things happening.

what metics did they speed up? Page paint time (and even load time) will be lower when more of the window is consumed by browser chrome, leaving less for the page itself.
