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.

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.
apart from that it ruins any website's unique design by forcefully shoving it's rounded corners into it, or making anything in the corner look odd
How does it ruin unique designs? Nothing important should be so far in the corner that it gets cut off
i've designed a few websites recently which really favour sharp corners, and when one of my sharp objects randomly has a rounded corner, when none of the others do, just because it happens to be in the top left corner, in my opinion that's a bad thing?
Are you able to show us an example of what you're talking about? I genuinely cannot picture a situation where this would be remotely as bad as some of y'all are making it out to be, how do you design a website in such a way that very slightly chamfered edges completely ruins the look?
if i get some spare time i'll throw some rounded corners on some of my recent web designs that i'm allowed to show, though i've thought about it more and i don't think that's my main issue with it. i feel it makes it feel like websites are more so just that, little pages in an app, when they can be, and often times are, so much more. i like when they can take their whole screen of space, without any borders, cut edges, anything like that, which is why i personally use a theme which even hides the tab bar behind a hover. i like to treat websites as apps in their own right, and putting them into a little box just doesn't sit right with me. if it didnt have those borders, and were just rounded based on the normal windows border radius, i'd likely be fine, but i feel this puts too much connection between the browser and the site
Y'know, that's a fair point. I don't necessarily agree, I'm not that in tune with most websites' designs, but for someone who actively works on them I can see how you might look at things a little differently.
That was my takeaway.
THeSe mOroNs dOnT knOw What ThEYre dOIng! WHo thOUgHT thIs wAs a GooD IDeA?!
Probably the hundreds of focus groups that were behind the decision shrug
Yeah no joke. My company is much smaller than MS but they still do tons of user research and surveys. They've also been adopting rounded corners for everything. It is easier on the eyes for sure. I like it. The dev types who dominate lemmy always think they know better than ux, but most of them are comically bad at design.
