Update: Bitwarden posted to X this evening to reaffirm that it's a "packaging bug" and that "Bitwarden remains committed to the open source licensing model."

This is an update to a post that was previously shared in the community: Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source
I know this is a completely separate thing, but something about the current redesign they're pushing is making me very uneasy, as well. It feels very much like corporate focus-grouped, iOS chasing crap, i.e not at all interested in the type of power user and FOSS types that initially embraced it.
Moreover, when someone asked for compact mode (again, as people have been asking for it from the beta for at least a year now), the response was some of the most PR shit I've seen from a FOSS developer.
They legitimately defined something as basic as compact mode as a "power user" thing that they're "considering". And routinely reinforced how much they "value" power users, whole also suggesting their robust search function.
A bunch of people had to demand the Android Beta app restore Quick Tile functionality because the dev team got in their heads it wasn't necessary to have a manual trigger for auto-fill.
Just feels like a lot of disconnect coming from the development side and its not inspiring confidence.
