The new omnibox is hideous and hard to see
Today's Canary update changed the omnibox:
The new version is really hard too see in light mode. Please reconsider this change.

I completely agree it was a bug and they've thankfully changed it back to the way it was. Much better now!
I hate it too. It used to be lighter which looked a lot better. This change makes Edge feel much less polished (which it ain't lol but first impressions matter).
When this was released, I noticed another bug that I can also reproduce in Chrome Canary. Before I explain the bug, note that I've already reported this. I have animations in Windows turned off. In Chrome (stable) I cannot see the ripple or fade effects on buttons which is normal behaviour. Edge used to only have a fade effect when animations were turned on. Now most Edge buttons have a fade AND ripple effect even when animations are turned off! The few buttons that are not affected by this bug are the site info button, favourite button and the extension buttons.- I like it this way. Bending is better.

when I click on the omnibox the outline appears which is good but other than that i don't need to have outline up there when my focus is on the main web page content in the website.
- but I'm 99.99% sure that this is a bug. It is the same colour as Chrome's omnibox (I actually used a colour eyedropper to verify this). Google's Material Theme has a different grey palette to Microsoft's Fluent Design anyway.
off topic: Google's Material Design grey palette was a lot better than their new Material Theme palette!
19lmyers is referring to the actual chrome of Edge.
- Hi,
is it the tab titles that are hard to see or the URL in the address bar?
