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.

Who the FUCK uses Edge on Linux??

I don't know, but I'm terrified I'll one day meet them.

Is there even a stable version for Linux? Last time I've checked it was still in beta

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i don’t think i’ve ever used a microsoft product that didn’t feel like it was still in beta

That's not fair, solitaire didn't have too many bugs

Used it for a while. One very nice feature is that when you use multiple profiles, you can specify in which of those external links open in. Every other browser opens them in the window that last had focus so I regularly have work related links open up in the private profile.

Also the performance was quite nice.

But since they continuously rub new services in my face with new versions, I ditched it again.

Sure they can add rounded corners but can they fix this mess?

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:

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just because a few people on Reddit and Lemmy don't like a thing, doesn't mean that "nobody" likes it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

If you're lucky, it'll follow along with Chrome and start sharing your browser history to advertisers, too!

Use Firefox

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 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.

Probably to match windows 11 borders

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Remember: less viewport and more whitespace = somehow more ergonomic

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (9 children)

I mean you can like or dislike it of course but are you really complaining about a viewport 20 square pixels smaller than normal

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"

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!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Counter opinion: I think the rounded corners look nice. And do a good job matching up with the windows 11 aesthetic

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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).

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Settings -> Appearance -> disable 'Try new look'

I actually like rounded corners but I wouldn't ever touch Edge.

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
