Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website
Edit: Looks like you can opt-out of that "new look and feel" pretty easily under the appearance settings but still, whats with putting rounded corners everywhere?
Edit 2: "Explore the web with a softer, more friendly aesthetic featuring rounded corners [..] Designed to complement your operating system, whether on Windows 11, MacOS, or Linux." The fuck does that mean? Windows 11 fair enough but most Linux distros don't look like that at all.

Rounded is the new thing? Aren't YouTube videos also rounded now
It's not really a new thing but it's something that there's seemingly no real reason for other than it looked good to whoever came up with it?
Big companies don't make highly visible design decisions like this on a whim... at least most of the time. They probably have research showing that rounded edges are preferred by end users. Maybe less anxiety inducing or something.

That's just objectively wrong. Biologically speaking.
We have pretty much since we are Sapiens preferred rounded everything. Boba and Kiki are a thing.
The oddity (biologically speaking) is finding sharp edges more appealing whee they offer no considerable advantage...
