We've updated you to the latest build page design

Dear Edge guys,

 

Here I want to share my idea, why users don't feel Edge is as their favorite one. I think Edge is too edgy. From design perspective the every part and content from Edge team seem not so fluent. 

 

For example, why you don't make the "We've updated you to the latest build page design" page like acrylic, rounded corner, transparent effect and so on? May be it is not so important for Edge development, but I think, every small part of your team work shows good design and give a feeling of a more modern browser, even the content about Edge development.

 

I like you guys excel in web design. What do you think about this?

Hi,
although it looks nice, but it's web design in the end, and I don't think anyone downloads or uses Edge just because the website has a colorful background or edges are curvy instead of sharp.
the background colors make it even hard to read some texts, no matter if font color is white or black.

this page also have a dark background design

when theme in Edge settings is set to dark.

so IMO if acrylic or fluent design elements are to be implemented, they better happen in Edge browser itself.
Although your design is good, I personally like uncluttered clean things, It feels more mature and less childish. But yeah they can improve it , but I think for now, development of edge is more important than the web designing.

I stumbled upon this thread and I couldn't agree more with the importance of design in the success of a browser. I totally get what you mean by Edge being too edgy. Sometimes, it's the small details that make all the difference. Have you checked out the latest build page design? The Edge team has updated it, and it looks pretty sleek and modern to me. I think they did a great job incorporating acrylic, rounded corners, and transparent effects. Speaking of web design, have you heard of this web design company that's been making waves lately? They use the latest design trends and techniques to create stunning websites. They're definitely worth checking out if you're into that sort of thing.
