I think you're in the Dev channel, right? Dev is currently on 88.0.705.9 which is the the same version Edge canary was on when this first appeared, so will revert back on the next update.

i like the hamburger/gear icon but it mainly represents Settings, whereas the 3-dots icon represents Menu. for the Settings Edge has the hamburger/gear icon but for Menu it has 3-dots. I think it makes sense.
also on websites the same 3 elements icons exist to represent a Menu. either 3 dots or 3 lines.

Yes, Dev channel. Also gear icon is totally out of context for a menu. Although, I agree with your thoughts on hamburger (3 lines) but still think there 3 horizontal lines icon (hamburger) can make more sense.

Anyways, best one will always be there. Deleted here is a good feedback for Settings and more icon. Kindly share with team if it is helpful.
