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.

Closest thing I can think of would be back in the day when colour palettes were small enough that paint had colour blends in its palette, if you filled with one of those, it didn't treat that filled area as one colour so that you could fill it again with a different colour.

But I wouldn't even call that a bug so much as a lack of feature. And it was kinda satisfying to fill one of those blended colours and then alternatively fill with the two colours that made the blend and watch it slowly creep out to fill the entire space. Lol I didn't even realize I still had that memory in the archives.

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.

Mozilla's "Multi-Account Containers" extension on Firefox does a much better job at the multiple profiles feature you've described.

You might be better off using a custom Firefox profile for that then. Not too well integrated UI-wise sadly though

You can do that in Chrome too, if you have multiple chrome profiles right clicking on links give you the option to open it in a different profiles window

feddit.de

Yes, but with "external" I meant opening links from other apps like Slack.

1
sh.itjust.works

Yeah that's what I mainly used it for. I would right click links on slack and make sure it would open on my work profile or not depending on the context of the link.

Although this could potentially have been when I used the web app rather than the installed app, so i may be misremembering

2

In the WebApp this would work. Across apps it's a different story, since they just invoke a system command to open the URL in the associated application. From there it's in the hands of that application, how to deal with it.

2

It's like they want to drive away the experienced users who don't need their hands held and rarely need support to focus on the part of the market that will still find ways to break things no matter how much they dumb it down.

is this similar to Firefox containers? dunno why mozzila makes it as a plugin and hasn't bundled it in yet as a standard feature, literally can't live without it.

1

Not quite. Let's say I have two profiles: "work" and "private". If I have both open at the same time, they are separate browser windows with different tabs, different settings and different extentions.

I can now specify that external links open in "work". If I now click on a link in Slack or in Thunderbird, they open up in the window with the "work" profile, even if the "private" window was the last active one.

sffa.community

Edge is just Chromium. When they retired IE they switched. It might still work better because it's the default supposedly built to work with their products so their tweaks should help. But it is Teams and they've been doing a lot more updates lately. Did you update to the new version of Teams they've been pushing? It's bad and it's performance is bad, so that can cause issues.

Only thing I can think of is if you are developing a website or extension and need to make sure there isn't some subtle browser difference. Though since it uses the same engine as Chrome, that use case should be a lot more niche than it used to be.

Heh reminds me when I was doing web development back in the day and had IE running on Linux. It actually made more sense to test compatibility with IE by running it through wine on Linux than actually doing it on Windows because I could have multiple versions of IE installed at the same time.

They have the ability to run two websites side by side in one tab. No other browser does that. It's insanely useful

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.

lemmy.world

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.

i havent used it in a bit tho coz of firefox but its a fine browser firefox being good doesn't make edge bad

I really don't get their take on FF use. Maybe they don't realize that virtually ALL the other browser options are Chromium based. Your only real choices are Chrome | Safari | Firefox

And Safari is only on apple devices. So for other devices its Chrome or Firefox. With Chrome having near market monopoly... so... yeah Firefox is diversity.

How is Edge secure in any way? It isn’t even open source & and both Google (Chromium) and Microsoft add their code to it, so even if Chromium were more secure than Firefox, you could just normal Chromium, couldn’t you?

Not being open source ≠ not safe.

Microsoft ships hardened Chromium basically, with sandboxing turned up to eleven.

They also run their SmartScreen filtering on top of that.

Also, Firefox is more private, not secure. Either you run LibreFox or it's less secure than Edge by default.

In the ideal world these Chromium-based browsers would rebase into Ungoogled or something of the sort. But ofc that’s never happening, so I’d suggest getting ahead and setting things up on Firefox.

ATM I run Vivaldi and Firefox. Vivaldi is currently my main, but I also use FF quite often and will probably start try to switch away from Chromium in the future.

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?

30

I wish cars stopped being curvy and went back to rectangle lights and straight lines

11
lemmy.world

It might just be down to nostalgia, especially when it comes to the early 2000s Windows XP style aesthetic. Just think about all the Vaporwave stuff (although that seems to be mostly late-90s-ish).

I'm more of a Windows Aero fan, myself. Frutiger Aero in general has a very dystopian vibe for me but I'm a sucker for transparency.

6
lemmy.world

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.

28

Also looks a lot better in a multi-window environment, i.e., not your phone.

"This website looks best on Microsoft Edge at a resolution of 800x600"

15

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.

3

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.

Yes, that's what redditor/lemmy users do. None of these people know anything about UX design or the tens of millions of dollars companies pour into user research.

Any minimally decent website already has margin along the viewport edge, at worst you're shaving off a few pixels from an image that the user probably hasn't finished scrolling to anyway. There's no real loss in content with this change.

The real mildlyinfuriating part is that they probably got inspired by Arc, a relatively new browser. They already copied how their window splitting works.

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.

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

It has been for a very long time. It really ramped up when border-radius came to CSS, maybe around 15 years ago now. Every site started using rounded corners as it was much easier than the old approach of using images for it. Then apps started copying it, and now everything has rounded corners.

Yep, the latest and greatest from...Mac OS System 6. From 35 years ago. Windows has had roundrect windows from 95 or earlier up until Windows 8.

what does a browser have to do with linux?

2
feddit.it

I will write an unpopular statement:

I use Microsoft edge even on Linux because it's the only browser that has an option to save temporary downloads in /tmp instead of littering /downloads with unwanted trash. I open 100s of PDFs every day and the behavior of every browser to save in downloads without my consent is infuriating. Firefox allowed this but then they really had to copy the behavior of Google chrome. Reverting to the old behavior requires too many hacks, it's easier to uninstall and use Edge

2
sh.itjust.works

But you can just change the default download location to /tmp on firefox. Or you can choose ask me every time and set /tmp as your favorites, then you can reach it with a single click.

I don't know if this fits your use case

28
feddit.it

But it's still a workaround, I have to save it and waiting for the save dialog to appear

It's much easier to just have two buttons, "open" (save in tmp and open) and "save"

On windows, temp doesn't get cleaned automatically at boot, but edge takes care of that and deletes the file when you close it

-12
3lawsreply
lemmy.world

The ability to pick a temp folder to store your downloads is a feature, not a workaround, and every browser has it since forever™.

There's absolutely no way in Elon Musk's xHell or Linus Torvalds kmodHeaven that you choose Edge just because it saves you 2.7s every time you download pepelore compilations in 4k HDR AV1.

14
feddit.it

My use case is this: opening invoices from the ERM. The web app sends it as a download. I open one every 2 minutes. On edge I have an "open" button that does what it says. On chrome/Firefox/opera/Vivaldi it just downloads and at the end of the month I have the download folder littered with thousands of useless files. Or I need to set it for opening to a dialog for a path that might be preset to a temporary directory (that on windows still must be manually cleaned). The time saving in my use case is a lot and this setting is synced to all my machines, where the temp directory workaround is not and I have to set to each single machine

0

Yes but it's an hassle that can be avoided. The reason I stopped using chrome in 2008 was exactly this style of download. If Firefox has the same behavior of Chrome, then I don't like it anymore

I have ten devices, I need to set this workaround on each of them. On edge the clearly labeled setting is automatically synced everywhere

How about you do that first and we'll cross the next bridge when we come to it. Good luck. I'm counting on you.

lol yes they can. Your employer can make you use whatever software they want, and can and do monitor everything you do on their network.

There is no expectation of privacy when you’re using their hardware or network.

That's a very bold and not entirely true statement. But alright, have at it.

If your employer gives you a laptop for work, they can lock it down to whatever the hell they want. Standard practice is to give regular users no elevated privileges at all, so you couldn’t install anything that isn’t already installed. Most companies don’t even let users edit the internet options so you can’t even change your default search engine.

What's infuriating about fucking rounded corners on a webpage? Mildly or otherwise.

Y'all need to learn some coping skills. Jesus.

What's infuriating is the decision to do it, or that it even crossed someone's mind, or that people like you just defend whatever bullshit gets fed to you
