:) Exciting!

I didn't see Tor listed under the feature list. I wonder what happened. It looked like that was going to be included.

It looks like the Tor Button is still packaged with the [optional]
Icecat. But Icecat is not the default browser as was initially
planned.

I'm curious, what is the reason for keeping Abrowser the default?

Every documentation page now has an "up" button at the bottom. To go up one level in the documentation. Useful!

I think the front page of the new website is excellent!

However, I encounter problems when I got to any other page, like the forums, downloads, or documentation. My Trisquel-mini computer is an old one that runs at a 1024x768 screen resolution, and at that size, that website pages have an enormous amount of empty space between content columns, which are so thin that some things become unreadable.

I've attached two files to this post. The first is the top of this thread, showing what the columns usually look like on my desktop. The second is a nested comment on another thread, showing what some nested comments look like. There is so, so much blank space, and the comment has a wrap width of only 13 characters.

I like the new design, but remember, some of us still have to use older machines with older monitors, and we like to be able to read things, too.

Yea- it's pretty bad. The problem is even worse at 640x480.

For some reason, on Midori in Trisquel 7, it's not as bad (I had written the comment while downloading that ISO and using Trisquel 6). No idea why that is.

I also question the pink bar at the top of the page. I understand that it's the very top of the background used on the pages, but as the rest of the website is based in blue, and as you scroll down, the background changes to blue anyway. The pink bar looks really out of place unless you're looking at the very top of the page, too.

Just some thoughts.
