New one is dead boring, not colourful, & much boring real estate given on the prime left column to the mega yawn of "New commiter" "New commiter" "New commiter" Really boring that, except to insiders.

A pity that mass waste of time wasn't latched discussed & avoided by freebsd-www@freebsd.org, where web design is supposed to be discussed. > browser. On the downside, I notice it now uses cookies.
