If only we could plug in the gerrit back-end (via API) to the phabricator
front-end. Phabricator has a much better diff viewer and commenting
system. Gerrit is superior in many ways but the UI is so terrible it's not
even funny.

Not really, since gerrit is a google owned project,
and google supports
most browsers, it is unlikely that Internet Explorer will never be
unsupported in google projects unless no one uses ie or Microsoft drops all
support for Internet Explorer.

Isn't Gerrit more for developers who as a consequence anyway run multiple
browsers and therefore do not care so much that it does not support Ie?

There new skin called polygerrit fixes all the issues described here. It
is moving along greatly but it doesn't support all browsers yet, namely
Internet Explorer due to polygerrit using es6 and internet explorer does
not support es6. They are going to something in the q2 of next year work on
internet explorer support, hopefully it will make it into gerrit 2.14,
2.15, and hopefully we will still be using gerrit then and update it and
also hopefully polygerrit will have added all the missing features.
Polygerrit is very responsive as I tried this on my mobile (iPhone) and it
worked.

I noticed a letter B in the upper right corner of the screen, and I

So did somebody perhaps wire the size of a 25" monitor into page
rendering?
My computer is a Samsung notebook.
In T38471 I complained that the old version was too wide at 1163px
(for my dashboard on a random day). Now the new version is 1520px. I'm
not sure if the Gerrit folks are serious or are trolling us. Perhaps
it is a tactic to encourage UI code contributions?
My suspicion is that the Gerrit folks (in particular, Shawn Pierce) aren't
so much trolling us as saying "stop relying on the UI of Gerrit! That's
not the point!" The last time I was paying close attention to this, Gerrit
upstream seems to be particularly focused on building code review features
suitable for:
1. Incorporation into git upstream
2. Integrated into development UIs like Eclipse
The strategy seems to be "Gerrit is a reference implementation of a code
review UI for Git". I haven't paid close enough attention to either Gerrit
upstream or Git upstream to know if the Gerrit core contributors have made
progress in getting code review functionality added to Git core (or if
they've given up, or if I completely misunderstood their strategy). I'm
guessing that Eclipse has pretty good Gerrit support, but I rarely play
with Eclipse, so that's just a guess based on the Eclipse Foundation's
involvement with Gerrit.
As bd808 noted, Gerrit upstream seems to be working on yet another UI,
which would make sense if their goal is to create a variety of compatible
implementations of advanced Git functionality.
