With regards to the black bar on focusable elements this change is by design and was tested with end users. From an aesthetics perspective the change was roughly a 50/50 split for/against but it was more preferred by users that have a need for higher contrast colors. Because of our focus on accessibility we decided that it broke the tie. We go over this change in our https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2019/10/15/form-controls-microsoft-edge-chromium/ about the updated form controls. This change has landed in Chromium itself and will be visible in Chrome started in https://blog.chromium.org/2020/03/updates-to-form-controls-and-focus.html.

And Firefox is also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1626512 aligning with our adjustment too due to the accessibility benefits.

Thanks as always for the feedback and please keep it coming.

tistou Thanks for bringing those points with Canary to our attention! We'd love to get a better understanding of them, so it would be great if you can answer the following:

2 - Can you tell us more about when and how it would be helpful to have immersive reader disabled?

3 & 4 - Hmmm, interesting. Do you have access to Chrome Canary, and if so, do you encounter the same issues with about: blank and the lack of a "text" cursor?

And thank you, HotCakeX, for your troubleshooting assistance on this thread and the other.

Thanks so much for your interest in this topic

2) I asked if it was possible to re-put the option in edge://flags to disable the immersive reader (as it was before)
There is always the option to disable the grammar of the immersive reader, but not the reader

3) No problem with Google Chrome (and no problem with Edge Chromium 79.0.309 that I recently re-tested)

4) No problem with Google Chrome (and no problem with the old version of Canary, before the .300 if I remember correctly)

Thanks so much
