Why does MS Edge look like that

why the border so thick and double rounded??? it doesnt need to be like that

A thick border surrounds the webpage display on Microsoft Edge

why does it look like that


"you know what i want? i want my web browser to have extra padding between the window border and the website so i can have less of the website on the screen at a time"

— No one, ever


Microsoft Edge's New Tab page filled with news articles and advertisements

whoa look at all this garbage that i want to see precisely none of

but check out what happens when i disable it

Microsoft Edge's New Tab page with articles turned off. No logo is displayed, only a search bar and a Microsoft Copilot button.

ah yes your computer have virus. your computer has virus you must install cleanpc.exe to clean 4000 virus on your computer

it has some huge like, "Zoogle Toolbar" energy. does that make sense? it's not just me, right? big browser hijacker energy—brandless with the aero nature backdrop; searchbar invaded with some product designed to steal your information

it has like, View-Master energy; like i'm looking through some kind of porthole into an abyss of pure advertisement. like i look into one of those pay telescopes and instead of seeing the beautiful mountains of Hawaii i see Hillary Clinton and her emails

i have sidebar disabled and i can't re-enable it for some reason but check this out

Image of Microsoft Edge's sidebar which houses several icons. From top to bottom, they are: Copilot, search, a price tag, a tool box, chess pieces, the Microsoft 365 logo, the Microsoft Outlook logo, and a paper airplane.

lets just go through those icons one by one.

Copilot

yeah if you want a wordier search engine that has the potential to hallucinate information it makes sense to go there yeah that's good

Search

okay but you have Copilot already? youve just immediately admitted to the uselessness of having a chatbot built into your web browser

wait hold on Copilot (again)

why is Copilot in the web browser??? what good does it do there?? what can it even do that requires it to be tied to the browser? ???????

okay uh shopping

so that's like, uh, what is that actually?

Image of the page explaining the Microsoft Edge Shopping feature. "Microsoft Edge is the best browser for shopping with built-in tools like coupons, price comparison, price history, and cashback. Shoppers can save on average $431 a year."

oh so its like worse Honey. cool. that sucks more than words could possibly describe but go off i guess. why is that in there by default

Chess????? (skipping the other one)

you know what i take it all back. every browser needs a chess button

okay i lost interest in this bit


use Firefox

It's the end!
