Browser page similarities?
Now I'm not about to call anyone a Scab, however the page layouts for these two browser sites are amazingly similar. Notice the horizontal colour split, grey gradients, green download buttons, red and black name/version branding and background circles for computer images.
Open these two sites in separate tabs and just flick between them. The similarities go much further than the above images show.
Paint by numbers for browser download pages?
Eivind Skjellum, designer of the Opera Page:
When I designed this page (yes, it's my work), it was pointed out to me that there were similarities to the Firefox download page.
What surprises me is that an outfit like Opera, who make a very good browser, are satisfied to go with what they recognise as a similar design in what is virtually a three player market.
The release of Firefox 2.0 and the associated great redesign of the Mozilla sites now makes this post redundant. Comments are now closed.
