There appears to be a visual inconsistency with the rounded corners of the browser window. Specifically, the rounded corners are displaying in two different colors. The color of the upper corner is identified as #3b3b3b, while the area just below it is #1a2127. The intended design likely aims for a seamless color transition, but the current issue breaks this consistency. This problem has been observed since the Stable update version 128.0.2739.42.

@alphabetta Yes, in Windows 11, the toolbar or "#3b3b3b" one also uses mica effect whereas the rounded corners or "#1a2127" one doesn't use the effect. It is been a bug since few weeks ago.

@volcbsI found the reason and it’s because they’re going to discontinue that feature.

Bad idea.

I meant I also don't like the rounded corner, but I must enable the flag if I want to use the latest UI.
