This program turns your Firefox browser into Google Chrome.
When we choose the web browser that we will use on our computer every day, there are many aspects that we must take into account. Of course, security is a key element here, as well as the functions it offers us and even its user interface. Google Chrome, Edge or Mozilla Firefox meet the expectations of the majority.
So much so that many of you may have missed the old look of web browsers last year on numerous occasions. But the truth is that it is difficult to run older versions of these programs on current computers, for example with Windows 11. Hence the open source project that we will talk about below.
Specifically, we are referring to a simple skin whose main goal is to radically modify the appearance of Mozilla Firefox and turn it into an old Google Chrome. This is Geckium. What it basically achieves is to restore the appearance of previous versions of Google Chrome, from 1.0 to 58, in the Firefox browser.
This means that we will have the possibility to change in real time between the different themes available to us. Its main goal is therefore to recreate the appearance of Chrome in its early days in Firefox. Thus, once the change is applied, we find tabs in the form of a trapezoid, buttons with parallelogram designs, or information bars within the application.
In fact, there are many elements that were almost forgotten and that we will now find in Firefox, which imitates the famous Chrome browser.
We should keep in mind that this is a theme that we can use on both Windows and Linux or macOS. All this to reuse the old Chrome user interfaces in the current Mozilla Firefox.
There is no doubt that this is a very interesting solution for those curious people who want to return the old look of browsers to newer and more powerful versions. And we will immediately realize the significant differences that have occurred in this regard over the years.
