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

I don’t know, but I’m terrified I’ll one day meet them.
Me, but because I need chromium for work and refuse to use Chrome. Firefox for everyday browsing.
But… you can just use Chromium on Linux
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.
No corner. Only Edge.
Yeah there goes my coffee …
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
That way you can’t cut yourself on the sharp edges
I gotta say I love that Microsoft has the self confidence to think that there are people who use edge on Linux.
They can’t even make it consistent. The border radius on the tabs, the URL bar, and the main page are all different.
Use Firefox
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?
I… Kind of like it?
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.
Oh god, this is going to be the next must-have design for everything, isn’t it? Argh.
Yep, the latest and greatest from…Mac OS System 6. From 35 years ago. Windows has had roundrect windows from 95 or earlier up until Windows 8.
That said, I can’t think of anything more stupid than rounded corners on monitors/smartphone screens, except for curved edges.
