Edge Beta 78.0.276.8 - missing favicon in popup windows or in taskbar in Windows
So, My beta version got update to 78.0.276.8 and I have noticed few issues. One of the issues is, its missing favicon now in any popup Window or in taskbar. See the pictures attached. It was ...
So I tested it.
the Red circle is definitely a problem (popup windows don't correctly get the website's favicon)
the pink circles could be also a problem (user might expect to see the website's favicon in those places too but that neither works for popups nor for normal website tabs)
the green circle is definitely Not a problem. websites only have permission to change it if they are added as an app (PWA), other than that, it would be a security issue because they are accessing browser files on your computer.
If I may remind again, it used to work with Edge C version 77 as well like below test in Google Chrome.
It is expected and it should work.
- Okay but that doesn't mean it's a bug in version 79. it's the new way now and popups no longer change the browser icon unless they are used as a PWA.
from version 78 moving forward, that behavior is changed. in both Google chrome 78, 79, 80...etc and Edge insider 78, 79, 80...etc
