New icons look way too similar to Firefox's icons. Below pic is Edge Beta Icon to the left and Firefox Nightly to the right:

    Personally, I fail to see much similarity, other than they are both sort of roundish.  I would never confuse them, that's for sure.

      jolted131212 - Technically yes if users are going to confuse Firefox or earlier Waterfox with Edge. The icons of the different browsers all begin to look the same. Below is one Firefox' icon for their up and coming new android browser (simply called "Firefox Preview" at this point). Although the color is different the design has a similar design to their previous icons, and now the new Edge icons.

       

      Having listened to recent Edge reviews on Youtube others also noticed the similarities so it's not just me. Edge is based off of Chromium which is what Chrome is also based off. Firefox has it's own engines and development not in the Chromium family of things.

        Anthony tbh... i tried to listen you... but u are delusional. nothing u say make sense. the new edge icon is unique and most browser icons have the same structure... this doesn't mean edge try to copy firefox icon.  it looks like chromium icon more than everything else. hope you understand and u are not one of that guys who keeps arguing about everything they disagree. (sorry for my broken english... is my 3rd language 😛 )

      josh_bodner do not know why, but I saw a big space at the end of Edge menu few times after upgrading to this new Dev build.

        I cannot repro this & I don't have the space at the bottom.
