Tabs and Dark Mode
Elliot Kirk I feel that the dark mode isn't as contrasting as the dark mode in the original edge. When I tried it in the original, I was entranced by the dark modes near complete black color(1). The ...

To repeat: If certain OS Accent colours are used/selected there can be oodles of contrast and tabs super easy to see/notice. Trust me, I'm telling you from first hand experience, it does do the trick!
Here is an example I grabbed quickly, just an example; Because, the quantity of colours available that work is HUGE! And showing active & non-active tabs... actually, I often change it depending what desktop wallpaper I feel like using, for a while and also, changing the pointer colour & the clock such that everything is coordinated, ascetically. The clock is highly customizable, in many aspects, BTW!
In other words, the effect varies depending on the OS Accent colour. And you tell it to show in title bars & window edges. If you go with Dark Mode/Theme & the default stuff for what I have discussed above, it WILL, indeed, be darn hard to have the tabs jump out at you.

I don't like accent colors and never use it, it's ok with just dark colors in OS to me and good old Spartan Edge. But it's a disaster with chromium edge dark theme and I shouldn't be forced to use accent colors.

There is an interesting note, here. Edge doesn't apply any Accent colour the way Edge C. does. There is nothing about being "forced" to use Accent colours. They are something that has been used long before Edge C arrived. But, really, for ascetics and to have the tabs, actually, be more visible & easy/easier to see /distinguish Edge C affects it better due to how it handles or applies Accent colours which, is much better then Edge does; dark on dark doesn't offer much contrast; they are more effective & helpful with Edge C than with Edge.

royamicus185 Definitely agree with you. I miss the really dark dark mode from spartan.
