Agreed. It serves no purpose. Good import of bookmarks, passwords, etc. but integrating with their services, even optional, is not cool.

Support for themes from the Google store also doesn't sound like a good thing. Keep evolving the Edge UI and "un-chrome" it - keeping compatibility with Chrome themes sounds like not much will change in the future and that sounds wrong 😉

Deleted agreed on themes, and honestly, 99% of chrome themes are dreadful and majority of users dont even know they exist. Would be better to add theme customization in the future, if anything; just basic color changes, nothing wild.

    matb86 Not a big themer, but the only thing I'd like to see is an option for the title bar color to be grabbed from the theme color of the current website, as in Vivaldi. That's a pretty cool feature, both for visual interest and for making it feel less like the page is running "inside" of a browser and more like the page is just the program you have open.

      I think the same result could be achieved by setting the Edge to use light color and set Windows color to yellowish. cause in your picture the title bar is colored but not the toolbar which is the only reason one would use themes, right?

        HotCakeX  Chrome store has a banana theme that covers the whole bar. Two versions, but it was too yellow for me which is why I went with the more simple yellow. The mix of light theme with the Windows color is a good option too (and a good future option to add to edge. Such as clicking an icon button and bringing up the Windows color panel that links to Edge so user can pick the color scheme tone they wish. I would perfer to tone my own color than finding a close enough matching theme). Although with theme options (or having both theme options and windows color panel option) is the ability to use picture themes or picture themes with colors. Such as the one in my third picture.
