It is almost comical reading comments about yellow folders. The same yellow folders we have & have had all over the place forever. The same ones that heaps of people were asking for in Edge C because they didn't like or want the new plain outlines. So the Edge Team gives what (many/most) people wanted and, yet, now we hear, "don't like that give 'US' back outlines"; and who is us? ONE cannot speak for individuals world-wide. Can never please all, never will.
When it comes to building a browser (or an OS, for that matter) it is being built for & used by billions of people. To be reasonable & practical it cannot be built with billions of options. It has to be done for the majority, for the general consensus. It is for Global application not, individual. Ergo, it is not realistic that every individual idea or desire or suggested tweak can be added or indulged.
Cheers,

you see, if something is good and desirable, no one write about it on the forum to praise it because it's pointless. so if 80% of people preferred the gray folder icons, they just kept using and enjoyed it, didn't need to come here and write they are enjoying it.
this is why there needed to be a poll, Not a forum post, to see what people wanted.
It's not comical.

NB: Yellow folders are BACK because enough people were wanting this & asking for it and the Edge Team has catered to that request. The caveat is 'enough' meaning not, necessarily all. So some will, now, say this is bad & unsightly. It, certainly, appears the Edge Team responded due to a threshold of demand... and to have a look consistent with what is & always has been all over the place, already.
Often humans don't like or welcome change (Yellow, status quo/as is), but, there is, also, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Some will think folders should change how they look. Tried that... must have been a BIG bunch of feedback demanding traditional yellow folders because, OH LOOK, they are yellow normal folders, again.
One of those darn times MS/Windows/Edge listens.
Personally... it looks good looking like an regular, actual, tangible, manila folder. The realism is cool. Plus, really dig that it is similar to a folder picture elsewhere throughout our OS and our browser.
And on a personal note, I find the outlines (of things) looks crude, juvenile, unfinished. The folder looking like a folder, I'm ok with that. I recall in the early (pre-release) days of Win10 to a little later as the icons became nicer, the further development and their evolution was sure appreciated; some were quite 'rough' at the onset. A slew of outlines blur sometimes, have to give more of a look than something more distinctive.
When I first mentioned the yellow I reckoned a plethora of Folks would be all excited to see their wish had been the Team's command... at least I suggest that's what happened.

- Yeah, but you're not counting the feedback provided through the old Smiley button. We don't know how many of them the team received
- Fair enough, we don't know.
in the end i hope this is temporary and in future they will provide us with more colors to label our folders in favorites
