"Microsoft Edge rounded corners" flag not working after the new update of 112.0.1722.7 and few other features. Before introducing new features, disable or give an option to remove the ugly rounded web pages. It just looks pathetic to work in EDGE, with such rounded corners. Fix it soon.Eric_E

After the recent update, disabling the 'Microsoft Edge rounded corners' and few other features are not working.Version 112.0.1722.7 dev (64 bit)

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 anymoreedge://flags#edge-minimal-toolbaredge://flags#edge-rounded-containersedge://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.

'Microsoft Edge rounded corners' is not working again. Please fix it, rounded corners are just awful

UGLY.Rounded.BORDERS\EDGES are back!Please remove it entirely, if the fixes introduced the previous week are constantly overwritten by the "fixes" introduced next week.Allow us at least to manage this "setting" in General Appearance options!

What is "video smart explorer"? Nothing in the FAQ about this. When I ask the new edge search about this I get back "I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find any specific information about a feature called “Video Smart Explorer” in Microsoft Edge browser. Could you please provide more details or context about this feature?"
