Elliot Kirk  Oh, yellow icon of favorites folders were better :-(. Please help distinguish folders from websites without icon. Why not using yellow icon for folders everywhere - you use it in Windows, OneDrive, why don't use it in Favorites in Edge?

    tojtojka I know favorite folders are landscaped and favorites are portrait but i agree with would be nice if folders were a different color.

    tojtojka Agree. The standard Windows yellow folder makes them stand apart from website icons much better than a "outline" style icon. Being faster to visually ID is also a positive accessibility factor

    Definitely not, the standard (no color) favorite folders looks great! :)

    Maybe because they look ugly and heterogenous in black and white Edge design with blue accents and line-based icons? Explorer allows you as many colors as you wish but screaming yellow is only for the canary Edge icon.

    Or give us control as to which icon we want to use on an individual choice.... I personally like the yellow, so let me choose the yellow.. Those that like the white, let them choose it...... This is really a small thing when we are actually trying to get this ready for public release, but it is a thought for when the public gets it....

    Also, how about letting us show icon only for the folders as well....

      Definitely would love the option of turning every bookmark into icons, rather then having to right click everything just to turn them into icons.

        The speedbump to that is when sites have similar icons.  Maybe, if both existed, all & individual, so name could show if & when necessary to distinguish between similar ones.
