Edit: Looks like you can opt-out of that “new look and feel” pretty easily under the appearance settings but still, whats with putting rounded corners everywhere?
Edit 2: “Explore the web with a softer, more friendly aesthetic featuring rounded corners […] Designed to complement your operating system, whether on Windows 11, MacOS, or Linux.” The fuck does that mean? Windows 11 fair enough but most Linux distros don’t look like that at all.
Sure they can add rounded corners but can they fix this mess?

It’s like they somehow overcentered a div. I didn’t even know it was possible. They used
display: ‘crunch’
in their CSS.
Maybe their devs did their work in Firefox rofl
Designed to complement your operating system, whether on Windows 11, MacOS, or Linux.”
Who the FUCK uses Edge on Linux??
I don’t know, but I’m terrified I’ll one day meet them.
Just installed Edge on Arch after a disastrous Teams call with Firefox and Chromium, figured it was worth trying MS’ browser next time but I’m not holding my breath.
Edge is just Chromium. When they retired IE they switched. It might still work better because it’s the default supposedly built to work with their products so their tweaks should help. But it is Teams and they’ve been doing a lot more updates lately. Did you update to the new version of Teams they’ve been pushing? It’s bad and it’s performance is bad, so that can cause issues.
Wha… Why are you using Edge?
I’m so confusedGot stuff at work (Microsoft services, for the record) that’ll work in Edge or Chrome, but not entirely in Firefox (gee, wonder why)
Softer…like they just wanted to take the edge off.
I’ll see myself out now.
I actually like rounded corners but I wouldn’t ever touch Edge.
They can’t even make it consistent. The border radius on the tabs, the URL bar, and the main page are all different.
I… Kind of like it?
Use Firefox
That way you can’t cut yourself on the sharp edges
Smartphones: Rounded everything, nobody actually likes it. Edge:
Just because a few people on Reddit and Lemmy don’t like a thing, doesn’t mean that “nobody” likes it.
I was being hyperbolic. In the billions of people who inhabit this earth, I bet there’s like two or three who genuinely like it. But they are crazy, and their opinions are wrong.
You are still discrediting anyone who doesn’t share your opinion. First you hyperbolically alleged they don’t exist, now you downplay their numbers and dismiss them as crazy.
Are you still being hyperbolic, or is this just how you genuinely think?
Uh, I use Gnome and rounded corners are all around the gnome apps I use. I wouldn’t use Edge, but I’d like to see Chrome have this.
Edge > Chrome these days
laughs in Linux
what does a browser have to do with linux?
yes
The real mildlyinfuriating part is that they probably got inspired by Arc, a relatively new browser. They already copied how their window splitting works.
Pretty crappy for MS not to have good designers themselves and then copy (often poorly) what one of the small players is doing.
Have you ever looked at MS’s business plan over their lifetime? This is nothing new.
Counter opinion: I think the rounded corners look nice. And do a good job matching up with the windows 11 aesthetic
God you poor thing! Are you okay? You’ll get through this, don’t worry.
So your take is no one can have an opinion on anything. Got it
What’s infuriating about fucking rounded corners on a webpage? Mildly or otherwise.
Y’all need to learn some coping skills. Jesus.
What’s infuriating is the decision to do it, or that it even crossed someone’s mind, or that people like you just defend whatever bullshit gets fed to you
Yeah dude let’s BURN THIS SHIT DOWN
NO MORE ROUNDED CORNERS IN EDGE GOD DAMNIT THINK OF THE CHILDREN
Later chump
