Bdsrev Update from the team: improving the scrolling UI has been on their mind and is something they're actively working on. One of the confounding factors is that websites can often choose the appearance of their respective scrollbars, separate from MS Edge.

 

However, if you try the Canary preview channel, you can see some improvements on our internal web pages (like Favorites, History, etc.) Here's a screenshot of our Stable channel (top) versus Canary (bottom) in the "Settings" page.

 

But to make sure that we fully understand what you're seeing, can you please share some screenshots of your scrollbar UI, either here or via in-browser feedback? And can you please confirm what channel you're using?

Deleted Oh Fawkes btw I just noticed an issue with the new scrollbars in Canary and Dev for Edge's internal pages such as Settings: they're not respecting a setting in Windows 10 called "Automatically hide scroll bars in Windows". Try it out yourself. Those new scrollbars really should respect this setting... I don't like those skinny scrollbars and I know I'm not alone (that's why that setting exists in Windows) . Edit: this might even be an accessibility issue, people should be able to have traditional "full" scrollbars in Edge's internal pages. I hope this can be fixed, I don't want to see Edge become a modern 'toy' mobile style app

      Deleted Any information on when this will come to the final version? As of now, the scroll bars are still bright and it's frustrating...
