Public bug reported:
The top area of the browser window is really just a series thin grey
lines on a white background. This is poor design for a few reasons:
1. Grey and white don't contrast very well, especially thin strips of grey on
white.
2. The grey outlines and symbols are inconsistent in thickness and colour:
2.1. The X icon is thinner than the + icon beside it, which is a different
consistency again to the < button below it.
2.2. The rounded grey outline around the address is slighly thicker
(blurred?) compared to the grey outline delineating the tabs.
3. Those vision impaired will have a very hard time.
4. Even those who are not vision impaired will be cognitively slowed by
having to interpret the fine grey lines rather than areas of greater contrast.
5. It looks unprofessional.
