Any chance of a compact mode? The titlebar / tab bar is HUUUUUGGGGEEEE !!
I'm hoping there is some consideration of a compact or smaller mode for the titlebar and tab bar as currently they are really huge and seem to waste a ton of space. Firefox has a compact mode which ...

FYI I still like the larger UI for high resolution touch tablets like my surface pro, although I don't have much of a problem on a touch screen with Firefox's normal mode.
Also don't let me forget, what happens when you enable the favorites bar? It becomes that much larger.
- HotCakeXAug 27, 2019MVPFirefox's UI is still more bearable than google chrome's and a tad bigger. but yeah im ok with that as long as they dont make any permanent changes and make it optional.
bigger UI and buttons is convenient for touch screens too. how does the google chrome's UI look like in a tablet? still as small as the desktop version?
i set the bookmarks bar to appear only on new tabs page. they added this fav button next to my profile picture, it does the same job.- SD777Aug 27, 2019Iron Contributor
HotCakeX Yes it definitely should be optional. I'm not sure on Chrome as I don't have it installed.
What's funny is that I still have the old Edge installed and it's titlebar/tab bar is about the same size as Firefox's normal mode, both much smaller than Chromium Edge. So for some reason MS actually made the new Edge's sizing much larger, I wonder why?
- HotCakeXAug 27, 2019MVPI really hope they make this new Edge UI and features similar to the old Edge as much as they can so that when you compare it with the old Edge, the only difference will be in browser engines (Edgehtml to chromium). or they could have just done an engine swap lol.
cause right now it only looks like a chrome clone cause its core features that made Edge browser unique and set it apart from other browsers are missing from it (Set aside tabs, reading list, cortana integration, webnotes, pdf markup etc)
