Obliterate Curves Extension

I got fed up with today's incredibly lazy design philosophy of rounded edges on absolutely everything. So I countered with an extension that outright removes as many rounded edges as it can find, resulting in a much more structured, professional looking internet.

It's also Open Source! https://github.com/ArkyonVeil/ObliterateCurves

Dankenštīn Steinberg (ID: 000000ed0268911c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/03/2023 For now, this is my most essential extention for almost every website I visit. Would be nicer if I could individually select which element to enable/disable on a web page. If you're someone who hates the trend of websites/apps making every single UI curved (especially videos and album covers,) then this is the best extension to remove them.

Colton Lacks (ID: 000000dd465cfb5a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/02/2023 The extension does what it says it does, which is making rounded corners practically obsolete. One addition that would be nice to be the ability to select certain elements on a site and toggle whether they keep their roundness or not. For example, seeing YouTube display the loading icon as a square is kind of funny to look at but I can also see that being quite a hinderance when watching videos.
