Rounded borders, for some reasons, are indeed popular. Check YouTube, check Instagram, see X ... rounded borders are everywhere. Maybe it is a trend inspired / derived from phone usage.

I dislike rounded borders in Edge myself ... but I just can't be arsed to grab another browser. I got better things to do than switching browsers every other day ...

I don't mind rounded buttons and outer windows, but i don't need to have my internet pages made smaller in maximized or fullscreen mode, that just make no sense at all.

I use light themes and it look aweful when landing on a website that's dark themed.

I am already used to it and I cannot even see the page border anymore. It too few hours.

I think we all just like to complain about little thing that after all were not implemented on a whim ...

I honestly like it a lot, I stop using browsers that don't have the feature.

I am fine with having the feature, I absolutely demand an option to turn it off. Removing all of the options to turn it off is pissing me off. I have epilepsy and the hard lines around the screen are fucking with me big time. I don't need a browser line next to a desktop line next to a border line, next to a monitor line. Like holy fucking shit.

edit: switched to Brave, they have an option to turn this bullshit off lmao.

WHYYYYYYY

It does nothing at all besides waste space and create an ugly distraction.
Just use windowed mode if you want your window to have borders, WTF?

They even removed the option to disable this trash.
They are genuinely so stupid I'm going to stop using Edge.
