    apart from that it ruins any website’s unique design by forcefully shoving it’s rounded corners into it, or making anything in the corner look odd

      How does it ruin unique designs? Nothing important should be so far in the corner that it gets cut off

        i’ve designed a few websites recently which really favour sharp corners, and when one of my sharp objects randomly has a rounded corner, when none of the others do, just because it happens to be in the top left corner, in my opinion that’s a bad thing?

          Are you able to show us an example of what you’re talking about? I genuinely cannot picture a situation where this would be remotely as bad as some of y’all are making it out to be, how do you design a website in such a way that very slightly chamfered edges completely ruins the look?

            if i get some spare time i’ll throw some rounded corners on some of my recent web designs that i’m allowed to show, though i’ve thought about it more and i don’t think that’s my main issue with it. i feel it makes it feel like websites are more so just that, little pages in an app, when they can be, and often times are, so much more. i like when they can take their whole screen of space, without any borders, cut edges, anything like that, which is why i personally use a theme which even hides the tab bar behind a hover. i like to treat websites as apps in their own right, and putting them into a little box just doesn’t sit right with me. if it didnt have those borders, and were just rounded based on the normal windows border radius, i’d likely be fine, but i feel this puts too much connection between the browser and the site

              Y’know, that’s a fair point. I don’t necessarily agree, I’m not that in tune with most websites’ designs, but for someone who actively works on them I can see how you might look at things a little differently.
