Dev channel update to 80.0.361.5 is live
Speednet Ugh.... No, can we get it back to the b/w version?
The yellow folders looks horrible. 😞
RobWuijster Well, no, the icons are most certainly not "ugly". That kind of over-the-top invective does not make a good case for Microsoft to listen to your opinion. You're also implying that the entirety of the Windows file system is "ugly", since it also uses yellow folder icons.
When looking at folder icon color, it is much better to use logic when justifying your opinion, such as the logic that using yellow icons allows Edge to match the rest of the operating system. Also, as many others have noted, the old gray icons were terrible because they did not provide any clear visual differences with the similar gray website icons. So Microsoft made a great decision to go with the yellow icons.

It's only your opinion and there are hundreds of others that may be the same as yours and may be different.
you think yellow is the best, good for you.
for me gray is the best.
let's not say which group has more popularity because we can't be sure. and Microsoft shouldn't make one group happy and the other group sad.I think it was wrong to change the colors to yellows without a proper public poll or survey.
because now there are people who don't like it.There needs to be an option to change the colors. it's as simple as that.
See, that's a few colors from tab groups. they don't need to give us the whole 16 Millions of RGB spectrum, although it would be awesome to have a color picker 🙂

because now there are people who don't like it.I like a lot of your contributions in this community, but really, this is getting over-dramatic. Microsoft can adjust the UI as they please. They're not going to make it optional, most likely, and I think that's fine. Anyone who wants ultra-granular control over the UI can switch to Vivaldi or can learn CSS and knock themselves out. MS needs to pick a color and stick with it, and I think they have already made their choice. What browser makes folder color a settings option?

Please don't get confused here. whether you like/dislike my contribution is none of my concern, I can't please everyone, I'm not pizza 😉
"Microsoft shouldn't make one group happy and the other group sad.

Microsoft made this browser to be used by people.
