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

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.

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"

You're joking, but that's how I unintentionally use the web with Arc Browser. It has rounded corners and an adjustable sidebar of tabs on the right left*. The resulting viewport is tightly approximately* 4:3. Iirc, Edge can also have tabs on the side.

When you close a tab everything shrinks to a tiny square and then blinks out of existence.

If you hold a magnet too close to edge it goes all weird.
