It seems that msForceNoRoundedCornerAndMargin also removes the margin between Favorites Bar and web content.

That's a small price to pay really, i can deal with that.

Use --disable-features=msFeatureGroupNewLookAndFeelHoldout, this feature don't remove Favorites Bar margin. Microsoft has become Microslop

That one brings back the highlight bug in light theme, and it prevents webpages from opening images in the same tab.

is there any way to the the same on MacOS?

This is very helpful to me, thank you.

open terminal and run:
open -a "Microsoft Edge" --args --disable-features=msFeatureGroupNewLookAndFeelHoldout

Now never totally close the opened edge app, you can close all its windows though, all new windows won't have the stupid rounded corners.
That's what Ive done.

Thank you so much!
Edge's rounded corners are such a fucking ugly UI. It was so disgusting.

Check out the new GUI tool, can optionally restore sidebar for anyone interested!

Is there a way to change the colour of the blue border ? or even disable i? thank you in advance Thorsten

Sorry, which blue border?
