Edge Beta 78.0.276.8 - missing favicon in popup windows or in taskbar in Windows
No, I am not talking about PWA. I am talking about any website that is configured to open contents in popup Window, it should display favicon in the popup Window title bar and also in taskbar. Please check the pictures attached and you will get idea.
I checked them, well the one regarding the actual favicon which appears on the top bar, it could be a bug but i'm pretty sure websites' favicons never appear on my taskbar and never replace the Edge insider's default icon, Unless I pin that website as an app (PWA) to my taskbar or start menu.
As I have mentioned, it should work, it used to work and currently it is working if I use Google Chrome. So that is also a bug with this release.
- Could you provide an example website where that happens?
I've never seen a website before changing my browser's icon on my computer without my permission. that sounds like a security vulnerability.No its not security vulnerability as the favicon is supposed to work that way.
Try this link in Google Chrome and Edge C both.

Click on the link and it will open browser window, the favicon should be displayed in the titlebar and in the taskbar of Windows. It is working fine now with Google Chrome Version 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit) on my machine. And it used to work with Edge C Beta Version 77 until I got update to Version 78, it got broke.
