Oh that's a good question.
well we can give our Edge profile a local name but I would want it to show the same name as my Microsoft account.

My rationale was that if you want it to be the name of your MSA, then you could name your profile that and Edge will show that name.
As a in-between solution, Edge could name the profile the name of the connected MSA, when you first connect the MSA to Edge, but after that, you have to maintain the name in Edge, using the "Edit profile"-function.
- HotCakeXFeb 19, 2020MVPYour in between solution is great IMO. so Edge at first will show the Microsoft account name but once user manually changes profile name in edge://settings/profiles
then the that new name will be shown.
OR
it should offer a little drop down menu so user will be able to choose which name to show.
just like a drop down menu of some kind will be necessary to choose the "color" of that area- ahl2ndcFeb 19, 2020Iron Contributor
Both solutions would be fine with me.
Regarding the colour I like to be able to change the colour and I would like it to be customisable too with the following options:
- 16 different preset colours (or whatever number)
- Customize colour that gives a colour picker
- Default colour that let Edge adjust the colour according to system preferences, so it automatically adjust to fit dark mode or light mode
Colour would help me to quickly identify if a browser profile has access to a production, test og development enviroment.
