Microsoft Edge may now go dark, but in a very different way.
Rather than shutting down communities, Microsoft may give Edge a palette swap.

The tech giant is testing a new shade of gray for Edge’s dark mode.
The refreshed look is currently in a controlled rollout among Canary Channel Insiders.
Edge enthusiast Leo Varela spotted the change and shared screenshots of it onRedditandTwitter.

The visual changes replace the dark gray elements of Edge with black backgrounds.
The change to dark mode is subtle, but it is a requested feature from many.
Microsoft often plays around with how Edge looks in the Canary Channel.

Last year, Microsoft startedtesting rounded cornersin its web client.
Those have since made their way as an option to the stable version of Edge.
Microsoft tries these types of changes with subsets of users within Insider channels as a form of A/B testing.

Microsoft Edge Canary
Microsoft has several versions of its Edge web client for testing new and experimental features.
The latest version of Edge Canary lets you pause all extensions with a single click.
