MicrosoftTop feedback summary for December 3
They should be.
I showed them the bug at Ignite about a month ago.
I did file a chromium bug on it too https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1024486#
Besides from that we still miss the yellow folders, epub, set aside and the rest of the functions from Edge. The functions that will this Edge into something else than a chrome clone

It does become more & more concerning & worrisome as the clock continues to tick away... "Beware the ides of January".

Re: Yellow Folders
About a month back, I took a screenshot of Old Edge / New Edge / Chrome for comparison, and to my eyes, actual CHROME looks more like Old Edge than New Edge does. (Tell me I'm wrong... see below!)
Are yellow folders so hard to implement? The Favorites Bar just looks so drab and unfinished without the color. I'm flabbergasted that "Open all (52) favorites in a new window" is a feature that made the cut but yellow folders still haven't.
Unfortunately, the longer I use the new Edge, the more I'm getting used to it. The overall look does seem to be consistent with the theme of the Windows 10 task bar in dark mode, when you keep the task bar on the top like I do.
Lastly, I had this thought: Since the only people, more or less, who used old Edge frequently were us Microsoft fanboys and other insiders, and the idea is to have this new version gain widespread adoption, maybe emulating the look of the Old Edge really isn't the best idea in the world, ya know?
They had yellow folders.
MS actively destroyed them despite user feedback - That is how they "hear" us in reality

I would want to set my own custom image as the background for NTP, not Bing images, also favorites folder need to have custom colors so user can set any color they want instead of all being yellow...

Dustin, honestly, for myself (& maybe others, too) I am more concerned with having Edge HTML Features & abilities in Edge C than, cosmetics. Also, personally, with selected OS Accent colours my Edge C tab bar is not all dark, even though I use Dark in both the OS & the browser. Yellow, realistic folders is cool, I agree, but, what is happening is mostly in the name of consistency, even, if not quite as pretty or real-looking, I'm afraid.
Cheers,
Drew- Consistency would require the look and feel of the browser to be consistent with the rest of the products too, as well as the built in features
