"Microsoft Edge rounded corners" flag
Hello
The "Microsoft Edge rounded corners" flag in edge://flags/ disappeared in last Canary version
The display is reduced on web pages and even more so on laptops with small screens
The display is already a bit smaller with the wider title bar
Please, bring back this option
Especially since there's no other way to disable it, except by switching to Chrome
Thanks

Well, they finally got rid of the flag in the main version, unfortunately. This might be the final nail in the coffin for my using Edge. We'll see if using F11 (fullscreen) will be a feasible solution, I don't know. I hate to have to re-do my passwords in a different browser, but it might be worth it. The rounded corners with borders around the browser is just pure hot garbage.

Well, they finally did it, unfortunately. Rounded corners are forced on the main version now; there are no flags to change anymore. It's probably the final straw and I'll likely switch back to Chrome. I don't need the browser to have borders around the whole thing, it's ugly and is a waste of space. Microsoft is simply not listening to the users, for a multitude of things.

As I am noticing today, this change has made it to the Beta channel with still no way to disable. This means in about 6 weeks, users will have a choice to make; whether they give up fighting Microsoft's misplaced priorities and choose another default browser or stick with the pain of absolutely unnecessary features being constantly shoved in their faces.

All that remains is to do as all those dissatisfied with Edge do when it's counterproductive, change browser.
I'll check Edge from time to time to see if the requested features have returned.

I came here because of the same problem but I see there is no solution as of yet.
Genuine Feedback to Edge PM
For over 5 years, I have seen Edge product managers try to fix something that was never broken and rounded corners is the top of that list. It is the first thing that I disable every time it reappears under a new setting. It just does not add any value to my user / viewing experience.
So far, all these experiments have been limited to the Canary and Dev channels, but I genuinely dread the day when this feature makes it to the main Edge version without an option to disable it.
Edge is great but features like these cause more annoyance without significant benefits. So, Edge PMs, please never force this change on Edge main without an option to disable it.

From all the feedback I see on various sites and forums,
The removal of this flag (for the inner border), and for many, the mandatory "wide" title bar, are the main complaints.
And now, the removal of the sidebar.There are more and more dissatisfied users, and everyone is reaching the same conclusion, Microsoft is killing Edge
It's a real shame
