Bitwarden UI Refresh

In case you weren't aware, Bitwarden has been working on a UI refresh for their browser extension.

• Bitwarden Browser Extension UI Design Refresh - Early Preview Now Available : r/Bitwarden
• Usability issues (UX) in redesigned UI (2024.12.0) - Ask the Community / Password Manager - Bitwarden Community Forums

This feature has to be enabled on the server, which in our case is Vaultwarden. (See vaultwarden discussion New bitwarden Beta Chrome extension requires a server-side flag.) The easy way to enable it is to set the EXPERIMENTAL_CLIENT_FEATURE_FLAGS environment variable. (See the docs in dani-garcia/vaultwarden/.env.template.)

You can do this in cloudron by editing env.sh with the app file browser and add:

export EXPERIMENTAL_CLIENT_FEATURE_FLAGS=extension-refresh

Thoughts

The new UI is a bit different but remarkably faster. I happen to like the new visuals, but just the speed is worth the change imo. Tip: there are some options under Settings > Appearance in the extension that you can adjust.
