Resizing address bar font/UI?

Hi,

I don't know about you guys but I think the address bar font size is bigger than the rest of the browser. I've compared with google chrome and I prefer the same size across the UI. Is there any way to change font size for the address bar? I've looked around in the settings but the font size option there is for the webpages only.


Google Chrome

 

New Edge

 

I like the new Edge, but my OCD triggered on the address bar font.

    sengot I didn't use Edge for the same stupid reason but the font size issue has been addressed! It's pixel perfect.

    I don't know what happens with this, but for some reason in my Appel M1 the address bar is showing the font too small. even is harder to read compared with other browsers!

    Microsoft, we need an option to personlized the font for the search bar.

      HotCakeX Hmm, not sure this works as intended on Edge Dev on Linux (thank you for that, btw!) for me. The font used for the address bar is huge.

       

       

      Other parts of the UI look much more reasonable:

       

      Anything we can do about it?

       

      Best regards,

        Well not yet, but you can send feedback using feedback button on Edge (shortcuts Alt + shift + i) and request to add an option to let us change scaling of the Edge UI
