New microsoft edge is super. But new google chrome (chromium) design is vile.
I like UWP design from previous edge. With square edges, windows actual material design and add plugins from microsoft store app.

The are lots of extensions available from MS Store as well as a bunch from the Chrome store. Personally, I think the boost in performance from the under the covers work overshadows the shape of corners.

DrewHi,
I think it's the opposite 🙂

one can easily know that by just going to each store

Resorting to having to obtain plug in's from Stores kinda defeats the whole objective. I expect an item of software to work out the box, not supplied half cocked and having to track down fixes to make it work.
This really is an unacceptable approach.

This really is an unacceptable approach.True, Themes and appearances are not like rare features that a few users in the world ever need.
they are fundamental features.
Sometimes there is no option then use add ons. For example, I am sure that Microsoft would be sued by the content providers if they would build in an ad blocker. They will mot sue a small company because there is no profit in it for them. Also, a few will yell monopoly abuse. There are other examples out there.
Also, what I like to see in a browser is not what another person wants to see. So, to put it all in you will get a very large program. A good example of a program in which they put everything in to make everyone happy is Microsoft Word. for the vast majority, most of the features are never used, Likely they don't even know they are there. I don't like my browser to be like that. It has to do all the common functions, and do them very good and fast. The rest I can do with an add on that does the specific function I need. For me a good one is Fiddler. Someone that does not develop for websites doesn't need that.
- Well, Brave browser made an adblocker of their own without being sued 🙂
the term "adblocker" is not copyrighted to only one person or entity. so there is no barrier for anyone, person or company, to develop their own adblocker. let me know if i'm wrong

Ah, except there are none that are, actually, necessary or imperative "to make something work". Example, Scroll button... pages can go up & down without it. Edge C will work quite nicely without adding any extensions. Sounds like there may be a wee bit of misunderstanding... there is no "resorting" to things to make something work. Works fine with none.
