The Edge title bar is now thicker and this just pisses me off that the tabs don't touch the top of the screen. before, it looked like this: (68px)User's image

and now it looks like this:(80px)User's image

the title bar should be reverted to its previous height

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, there’s no option to revert to the previous design. Just keep in mind that Microsoft doesn’t monitor feedback in this community, as it’s a space intended for users. If you’re not satisfied with the current design, I suggest submitting your feedback here so it can gather upvotes and possibly influence future updates.

    The thicker title bar and extra spacing in Edge is part of a recent UI update by Microsoft to improve touch and accessibility. Unfortunately, there’s no built-in option to revert it to the previous height yet.

    You can provide feedback directly to Microsoft by clicking … → Help and feedback → Send feedback. Many users requesting a smaller title bar may influence future updates.

    Meanwhile, using Edge in full-screen mode (F11) hides the title bar, giving a cleaner look.
