Floating tabs are becoming all the rage… and rounded, that should be added, and if there’s a browser that doesn’t even look like it stylistically, it’s Microsoft Edge, even if it’s not by default. But you can put them on very easily, even if it’s just to try out how they look on you.

Yes, that floating and rounded eyelashes are in fashion, at least among web browsers: Firefox did it, then Safari, and more recently Brave. Is it to stick to the design lines set by Apple again (Firefox did this before Safari on PC, yes, but the idea came from iOS) or is there something more to this trend?

The truth is that it doesn’t matter, but given the change in favor of rounded edges in Windows 11, Microsoft Edge being the next to adopt floating tabs doesn’t seem crazy either. That said, if he hasn’t already, there’s a reason. remember itbecause this option has been there for a few months now, but it’s hidden in the browser’s advanced preferences.

Be that as it may, you can use it and if you have problems, inconsistencies or don’t like how it turns out, go back by deactivating the appropriate option, which you can find as you imagine in flags browsers. Simply open Microsoft Edge on your PC (I mentioned Windows 11, but the browser is also available for Linux and Mac) and enter the following URI:

| edge://flags/#edge-visual-rejuv-rounded-tabs

And there you have it: «Access the Round Tabs feature«. You activate the option (“Enabled”), restart the browser and…

Floating and rounded tabs in Microsoft Edge!

Do you like them, don’t you like them, neither fu nor fa? It is up to you. I’m showing you this, I repeat, just out of curiosity and not as a recommendation, although it’s not like your browser will explode to look. And if so, as mentioned: go back there and disable it (“Default”). The question is… Will Microsoft Edge one day take over and be its default look?

And Chrome? Google’s browser seems to be resistant to change, but if you look closely, the style of floating and rounded tabs has already partially adapted in the latest redesign, although it only appears as an effect when you hover over the background tabs. Curious to say the least.
