Microsoft’s Dark Mode in Edge Could Divide Users

Microsoft is testing a new dark mode for its Edge browser, which may include a fully black background. Currently, the dark mode for Edge features a dark grey background, but the change may be welcomed by those who prefer a darker shade. The black background extends across the tab strip, toolbar, favorites bar, vertical tabs, and sidebar, with the possibility of being integrated into the Settings and History panels. While it may not be to everyone’s taste, Microsoft is looking to gather feedback as testing progresses. The options of a dark grey or fully black background may be provided to users to suit their preferences. In recent times, Microsoft has been introducing new features to Edge such as built-in VPN, Bing AI integration, and a mode for gamers. Despite concerns of browser bloat, changes like a dark mode alteration are unlikely to have a significant impact.
