Microsoft Edge is getting another visual facelift with Windows 11 skin

Although Windows 11 can already run on supported hardware, the operating system still has a lot of work to do. Besides updating with a new look, another issue with the Windows 11 refresh is that not all apps have new features. However, Microsoft has been working hard to provide more updates to some of its most used apps.

Chromium-based Microsoft Edge has received a Windows 11-friendly makeover, but more improvements are coming. Microsoft is currently adding a rounded corner design to the tabs of the Edge browser, and enabling the mica effect of the tab strip by default.

The latest update to Edge Canary supports new experimental features and brings a new look to the tab strip. As you can see in the screenshot below, Microsoft Edge's tab buttons are getting rounded corners, matching the primary design of Windows 11.

The new visual improvements are not enabled by default, so users will need to manually enable them by opening two options in Settings:

• Show Windows 11 visual effects in title bar and toolbar (Preview)
• Use rounded corners for browser tabs (Preview)

The above two options are only available in Visible when the experimental flag #edge-visual-rejuv-show-settings is enabled. To see the changes, go to edge://flags and enable the flag, then restart the browser.

It’s worth noting that the update isn’t rolling out to everyone yet, and the company is still developing mica and circle tabs in Microsoft Edge. We should see a visual revamp of Microsoft Edge in the coming months, but the update will be available to Dev and Beta users first.

What’s more, the web browser is also getting new scrollbars, and Edge will look more modern thanks to WinUI-inspired scrollbars.
