Dev channel update to 82.0.453.2 is live
DavidGB I sent them a feedback about the ugly swap of greys and blacks from old and new Edge, and I was complaining about the same thing. I can't believe how good the old one was compared to the new Edge. And yres, I keep closing the wrong tabs, as I get fooled about which one is the active one each time. The reason is clear...
Little game: avoid looking at your new Edge (Dev) window, look at the above image and try guessing which is the active tab and which is the inactive one on both new and old Edge. Then check yourself.
... WTF???
PS: and yeah, the UI rendering on the new Edge is still blurry, that is why I keep using the old Edge and I can't get used to new dark theme swapped colors. Come on guys, seriously, this is the f. browser of Windows!! I can understand you like choosing bad colors, but the rendering should work at least. If you couldn't get Chromium to properly render stuff on screen on Windows you shouldn't choose Chromium as a base for the default Windows browser.
Also turning on the accent colors on window title and borders would help seeing the active tab better.

edit: nothing in HiDPI compatibility properties is currently checked- HotCakeXMar 27, 2020MVP
The tab strip design was reverted back to the old design in
Microsoft Edge Version 83.0.467.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
- LuKePicciMar 27, 2020Brass ContributorI'm on Dev right now, would you mind sharing a screenshot?
- Smallg0atMar 21, 2020Copper ContributorIt would be usable since it will revert the behavior to default (and edge can handle that properly).
