New Feature in Edge Canary: new dark design for Tab strip
Just updated to 82.0.456.0, blinked at the tab bar and came here to post and complain.
I LIKED the previous Dark Theme. I've just spent two days in Firefox's userChrome.css and doing a lot of googling for css snippets to copy, paste and alter (as I don't know css and the syntax, though element names and colours are obvious enough when I see them) to re-create the now-previous Edge Dark theme in Firefox, tab bar, toolbar, urlbar, bookmark bar (and yellow folders thereon), bookmark dropdown menus and submenus, context menus, dark NTP and about: pages, the lot. Half an hour ago I finally managed to fix the one element that took me the last day to find the solution to the problem (the selected tab's grey wasn't quite matching the toolbar's) so I now have the Edge Dark theme on Firefox ... and now the Edge Dark theme has changed in a way that is changing to the way I've been changing Firefox's Dark theme from.
I'm a big fan of choice, so if other people have some reason they would like this new dark theme, I've no problem with it being a choice .... even the default choice.
BUT give ME the choice of the old version. I HATE this. the black background to the background tabs makes the text glare too much on them for me, which was my biggest complaint about the Firefox Dark theme.
Even if it's a flag, Edge Devs, let me turn the background tabs' background colour back how it was.

I had the exact opposite experience. on Firefox I use Matt black theme to get exactly how Edge is looking right now because the colors behind tab tiles are distracting and make it hard to read
For the clear theme, I also prefer the old "design" (.453 version)
The new one is way too ugly (faded gray on the background tabs, the + button which is now black)The police were not blurry on my PCs with the old version
Hoping that MS will add an option (flags) to choose between the old and the new design
I wonder why they remove "features" when just adding the news and choosing between features would please everyone
