Eric_E Hello Edge team, can we have an open discussion about the visuals and the flags that control the new visuals, and the team's intention behind these changes and what are the plans for future releases?
Non of the three UI related flags that disables these new features are working anymore
edge://flags#edge-minimal-toolbar
edge://flags#edge-rounded-containers
edge://flags#edge-visual-rejuv-rounded-tabs
Nowhere in your notes are there words about the changes of the flag usages, if rendering the flags useless was not a bug but done on purpose then I hope at least it gets communicated instead of forcing them down your users' throat like this. Depending on how the Edge team is going to approach the issues brought by the new visuals people would be able to consider whether to switch browsers or to know better about the intentions behind these new visuals and help provide more useful feedback on how to better implement them.
A lot of people have already expressed their discontent with these new changes from previous updates and wanted options to turn them on or off. Doesn't matter how coherently good these look on Windows 11, the fact that these new visuals are not productivity helping is apparent to a lot of users out there, not to mention those who are still on Windows 10 or lower let alone people using other OSes the rounded style is also not very visually fitting.
Please communicate more on this.

jateruy,
I totally agree with your comment concerning the three flags that you had posted in a previous browser update, I tried all three of the with this latest update and found them to be just as you stated: "None of the three UI related flags that disables these new features are working anymore"
edge://flags#edge-minimal-toolbar
edge://flags#edge-rounded-containers
edge://flags#edge-visual-rejuv-rounded-tabs
I'm still thankful that you were kind enough to share this information in the first place !
As of this morning (Weds. 03/22/23) these three flags are working again, in my case since I had left them in the experimental flags area I'm assuming the developers enabled them to function once again. Yeah !
