Speaking as someone who does most of their browsing on the phone, the updated mobile version is so much better. I can't believe how fast it is! I love the clean look and it is so much easier to search and browse. As for the desktop version, I'm kind of neutral on the changes. The desktop almost looks too clean, but it's super fast and I find it easy enough to use at first glance.
Thank you for all the work that has gone into this. I think it's going to make my experiences on your sight so much more enjoyable.
