It's not really a new thing but it's something that there's seemingly no real reason for other than it looked good to whoever came up with it?
Rounded corners make sense for phones (cause they provide better protection against falls), but I'll never understand why they would do this to a desktop browser.
Do they really? I don't know about other phones but on my Pixel 6 Pro the entire front is pretty much covered with glass so it doesn't really matter if the OLED has a rounded bezel in front of it or not.
It might protect the actual OLED in case of a drop, though.
Structurally speaking, yes rounded corners are 2 magnitudes better against direct impacts. That's just physics.
That's just objectively wrong. Biologically speaking.
We have pretty much since we are Sapiens preferred rounded everything. Boba and Kiki are a thing.
The oddity (biologically speaking) is finding sharp edges more appealing whee they offer no considerable advantage...
When browsing even the least reactive webpage EVER; you won't be needing those 32.5 missing pixels.
You think this is acceptable, until an ad put it's close button up there and Chrome has already prevented AdBlock.
Yes.
No.
Big companies don't make highly visible design decisions like this on a whim... at least most of the time. They probably have research showing that rounded edges are preferred by end users. Maybe less anxiety inducing or something.
