What you need to know

A new experimental flag for Microsoft Edge Canary allows you to enable Windows 11 visual updates. The flag modernizes the look of the browser, though at the moment there are only a handful of small changes. The flag was spotted byReddit user Leopeva64-2. It appears to be an option for anyone running build 93.0.945.0 or later.

The description of the flags states, “Enables in-progress visuals appropriate for your currently installed version of Windows.” Since the visual updates are in progress, we’ll likely see more improvements in the future.

Right now, the visual changes appear to be subtle. For example, the context menus within Edge align better with other menus on Windows 11. Edge Canary also has some new icons, a new font for all menus, and more rounded corners throughout the browser. There don’t appear to be any sweeping changes at the moment.

To enable the new look:

You can revert to the older look by following the same steps but toggling the option to “disabled.”
