I remember a version of Chrome in the early days where I feel like they finally got the UI perfect. Of course, it’s been changed a hundred times since then. Can’t developers just leave well enough alone?
Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website

Here’s is something I don’t see a lot of people mention. Around the release of Pixel 3XL, Google kinda updated lot of their designs to make that hideous notch look intentional. Chrome Tab Headers were changed too. They got bigger with a lot more padding and rounded to look like the “notch”. They got rid of the notch in their phones, but the chrome tab header design somehow stuck

Hell, they were doing it way back in the 1930s. TVs had rounded corners all the way into the 90s due to limitations of CRT design. I didn’t start seeing TVs with hard corners until the early 2000s. They didn’t last very long, cause a couple of years later Plasmas and LCDs became a lot more affordable and killed off the CRT market.

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?

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.

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.

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.
nosurprises@lemm.ee 2 years ago
I actually like this. Some other elements have rounded corners too, so that looks good together.

Isn’t this a lie? I mean, is this allowed, to say X, if you actually grab X?

Please update edge to protect your data.
Protect my data from what?
From what we’re gonna do to it if you dont update edge.

Might be that this is just part of the Chrome Redesign 2023 that just startet to get published.
squiblet@kbin.social 2 years ago
yep, Chrome just redesigned everything to have no square edges anywhere, so I assume this is related.

Doesn’t appear to have been rolled out for all markets (yet), or perhaps they excluded/disabled it for Win10 users. I still have my edged corners with the latest update.

What’s infuriating about fucking rounded corners on a webpage? Mildly or otherwise.
Y’all need to learn some coping skills. Jesus.
ilych@infosec.pub 2 years ago
Nice security feature, you don’t know how many people get hurt by those angular corners.
