There used to be a time when you could go into Settings and easily find what you wanted to change, check or uncheck a box, and you were done. With the current version you have to dig through nebulous sounding locations with unclear nomeclature and hope you found what you're looking for.
For example, if you wanted to manually remove all the saved cookies and such for specific web sites, you could go to Privacy and Security then open the Manage Data area. Everything was there in one location. No muss, no fuss.
Now you have to dig through at least two other boxes to find the same thing, and it doesn't even work the same.
Are people trying to justify their existence, because that's what it sounds like. Instead of keeping things simple and usable we're now forced down the path of shiny for shiny's sake.
Here's a question: with all this reworking and "updating", will we once again have the ability to check a checkbox and never be harassed about updates ever again? Is that too difficult to implement, because it used to be like that for decades until someone needed to show they were being "useful" on the project.
