The new omnibox is hideous and hard to see
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.
"It is a bug that omnibox blends in with the rest of the UI to stop causing distraction for the user when viewing main page contents in websites?"
I already provided my evidence. It's the same colour as Google's grey. Microsoft doesn't use the same palette.
And well, if they wanted the omnibox to blend in with the rest of the chrome, they'd do that instead of forgetting to change the colour.
and to resole your argument with 19lmyers, the resting state of the omnibox has a different colour to the hovered and focused omnibox. simple as that. and this is about the light theme. not the dark/InPrivate theme.Edit: and I hope both of you have a nice and happy day!
if you're wondering why i'm saying this a little randomly, I'm hoping that by in me saying it, others will reciprocate as I'm not really doing well
off topic:
What countries are you guys from? 😄 I'm from Australia!
Check again now after updating your Canary build, both in dark and light mode, it's changed.
Version 79.0.290.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
- What? That's literally the opposite of what is going on here. If that was to be the case there should be no shadow around the omnibox at all.
The current shadow is in an uncanny valley of being visible but very difficult to focus on. It's clearly a bug.
And I don't think this ridiculous pursuit of "zero contrast browser chrome" is a good idea. Sometimes you need to clearly show the separation of parts of the UI, such as the click/touch target of the omnibox. Also, without it, people won't identify it as a web browser.

there is little no no shadow at all.
Mate I see no bug here. if you do, post a picture and mark the area that you think is a bug so we and the developers who might visit this topic will see it.
