That is not surprising since Chrome does not use native UIKit.

If you draw your own window frame, you're gonna have to update for every OS release.

I believe though that apps which have not been recompiled for macOS 26 operate in a legacy mode, and that includes the older window corner radius.

Wow! At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they started mixing square corners with rounded just for the hell of it.

This is like back when a lot of major devs like Adobe just straight up started faking window borders instead of updating their apps to the newer framework and it all looked and felt inconsistent or just obviously way off.

This issue is with app developers not using native libraries, not Apple.

If this were April 1st, it might make sense. But this is a major OS release by a brand that's famous for its design aesthetic. What the actual fuck Apple? Does nobody test anything anymore? How did this get out of the lab? Who exactly is steering this ship? Tim Cook's days at the helm might be winding down.

> Does nobody test anything anymore?

Honestly feels like QA and release qualification are non-existent in so many organisations these days. This can't possibly be the case though, right? Right?

Probably not Apple's fault for that one, but Chrome and/or WhatsApp drawing their own window borders (with radius to match the previous macOS release)

Holy crap is this real??

Brome Chrome and/or WhatsApp using their own window borders, and their stuck to the previous macOS look. They'll update them, but I wish they used the native chrome (no pun intended)

Good lord, that's awful. I'm definitely firmly in Camp Apple for the most part, but this just looks actually atrocious.
