In case you weren’t aware, there are extensions that you can use to restore the older (better) UIs. Here are a couple:

• addons.mozilla.org/…/wikipedia-vector-skin/
• addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…/classic-wikipedia/

There are probably some for other browsers as well. I don’t use them though. I instead wrote myself a tampermonkey script to change it:

<span style="color:#323232;">if (!window.location.search.contains('useskin')) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  var new_url = window.location.protocol
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      + "//" + window.location.hostname
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      + window.location.pathname;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  if (window.location.search == "") {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    new_url = new_url + "?useskin=monobook";
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  } else {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    new_url = new_url + window.location.search + "&useskin=monobook";
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  new_url = new_url + window.location.hash;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  window.location.replace(new_url);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>
