I think this change is okay, but the very bad experience is that opening the help documentation in the system browser is extremely time-consuming (not related to the network), and the redirects take too long.

I don't like that the documentation tabs can appear mixed up with all other browser tabs and that the Matlab help is no longer in a separate window. As a workaround I have written a small tool that uses a separate browser profile, https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/176358-docu-separate-documentation-browser-tabs

I have a feeling that the help texts displayed by help ... were also rewritten, and are now much shorter than before. THAT is definitely an unwelcome change.

I would like it if you had the option during the download stage to include documentation for only the selected toolboxes. That would ensure a complete installer.
