Comment on Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website

  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.
