No corner. Only Edge.
Yeah there goes my coffee ...
Sure they can add rounded corners but can they fix this mess?
MicmosHoefteEdgehat my beloved <3
I gotta say I love that Microsoft has the self confidence to think that there are people who use edge on Linux.
Softer...like they just wanted to take the edge off.
I'll see myself out now.
As it's Microsoft, you can be pretty sure the option to turn off the new look and feel will be removed in 6 months
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.
That way you can't cut yourself on the sharp edges
I... Kind of like it?
So you'd say you're not ... ( •_•)>⌐■-■
... edgy (⌐■_■)
Use Firefox
If you're lucky, it'll follow along with Chrome and start sharing your browser history to advertisers, too!
I've noticed that there's a shift in UI design currently back to the 2000s style of round UI design, which eventually moved out of the way for nice straight crisp corners when we shifted from CRTs to LCDs which could render pixel perfect images at last.
We never limited the viewport on a browser of course, that's madness. But just look at XP's bubbly design and interfaces of the time vs Win8/10's very angular, clean crisp interface.
I do hope we're not descending back into an age of curves, I'm not a fan. But styles come and go every few decades, and maybe younger people today are ready to experience their "age of curves" for the first time?
I get we're all old blokes and don't like change, but these rounded corners and UI changes are arguably better. Nothing wrong with a new modern look
How is it better? Your screen in square. Pages are rectangular
I sort of understand rounding outside edges for aesthetics since there's nothing lost and it might be easier as a target for resizing, but inside corners are just stupid. You're arbitrarily cutting corners out of content for no good reason.
Counter opinion: I think the rounded corners look nice. And do a good job matching up with the windows 11 aesthetic
That's perfectly fine. If you like it then more power to you. Everyone is acting like I cursed Microsoft for doing this and that my (internet) life in now meaningless because of this lol.
The design change itself is ok, I guess. What I don't like is forcing design changes upon users (and just removing the opt-out later on).
Guess they're going for the CRT look? Next up, all pages default to 4:3?
"This website looks best on Microsoft Edge at a resolution of 800x600"
Probably to match windows 11 borders
Remember: less viewport and more whitespace = somehow more ergonomic
I mean you can like or dislike it of course but are you really complaining about a viewport 20 square pixels smaller than normal
Yes, that's what redditor/lemmy users do. None of these people know anything about UX design or the tens of millions of dollars companies pour into user research.
Any minimally decent website already has margin along the viewport edge, at worst you're shaving off a few pixels from an image that the user probably hasn't finished scrolling to anyway. There's no real loss in content with this change.
They can't even make it consistent. The border radius on the tabs, the URL bar, and the main page are all different.
Edge corners the market!
I will write an unpopular statement:
I use Microsoft edge even on Linux because it's the only browser that has an option to save temporary downloads in /tmp instead of littering /downloads with unwanted trash. I open 100s of PDFs every day and the behavior of every browser to save in downloads without my consent is infuriating. Firefox allowed this but then they really had to copy the behavior of Google chrome. Reverting to the old behavior requires too many hacks, it's easier to uninstall and use Edge
But you can just change the default download location to /tmp on firefox. Or you can choose ask me every time and set /tmp as your favorites, then you can reach it with a single click.
I don't know if this fits your use case
I blame Apple for that trend.
It's like 20 years on and the rest of the world is still trying to ape it.
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
The rounded corners part of Web 2.0 was honestly the worst.
