These are ripped from chrome theme store. Vivaldi and opera cared to develop their own themes and it shows. No prominent browser would take from chrome store and show it in settings like it is their feature, given that even chrome doesn't show them like this.
Earlier it was 3 dot menu change that very distasteful and a reminder that edge is chrome. And sleeping tabs were apparently built from some chromium leftover project.
People in this community have been pretending that these features are exclusive to edge. They are not.
It's been 2 years since the news first broke that edge is moving to chromium and it still is a chrome browser. I have started regretting this move, honestly, in the hindsight.
Recent AMA edge team said original edge set a pretty high bar for certain things, and this just goes on to show that a chromium browser is probably going to remain a chromium, forever.

cheeseleader I don't know why I am even replying to you here, but I did not know that the Chrome team has a patent on these regular colors like medium blue, dark blur, grey, yellow etc
Grow up man, grow up. Edge is original in a lot of ways, and the team has been hard at doing this. If you cannot appreciate the work that the team is doing and can't even provide the criticism in a positive manner, I'm sure everyone here will agree with me that you do not deserve to be in this Insider space.
