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.
No corner. Only Edge.
Yeah there goes my coffee ...
This made me chuckle more than I’d like to admit.
Designed to complement your operating system, whether on Windows 11, MacOS, or Linux.”
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
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.
Wha... Why are you using Edge?
I'm so confused
I mainly use Firefox but have Edge to test website with, can't really uninstall it anyway.
Alright. This guy's story checks out. Let'em through.
Damnit! Now I've oiled my pitchforks for nothing. Ah well... gues i'll be visiting the political subs again...
Hey, I saw someone ask an innocent question about something they don't know in a post down the street. Wanna go make fun that guy?
Much to the chagrin of a large portion of lemmy users Edge is not actually a bad browser. If you're using a chromium based browser anyway there's really nothing worse about edge than the other options. Obviously not talking about Firefox here.
Exactly. It's my Chrome browser of choice. I use Firefox virtually all the time, but if I need somethiung that works in the cases where non-chromium does not, I use Edge. It's a fast, its already installed so no extra fuss, it has the best vertical tab implementation that really should be standard for every single browser.
Would you say you use it in
edge cases?
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 (⌐■_■)
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
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
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!
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).
Settings -> Appearance -> disable 'Try new look'
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
I actually like rounded corners but I wouldn't ever touch Edge.
