My folders on the fav bar are now yellow. They look totally out of place and kinda (actually very) ugly. A small unpleasant surprise (hopefully you can revert the change), but otherwise I'm really happy, you guys are doing awesome job.

I agree. The monochrome folders were so much classier.

Why are so many people missing the old folder colour? They were a pain and didn't stand out from regular bookmarks enough. I'm really glad to see them coloured normally now.

My main gripe with Chromium Edge now is just that it doesn't look enough like Edge. Those squared edges look cool in the main app - I'd like to see them in the Chromium version as well. Oh, and the super slick smooth scrolling needs to come across too.

  because to me, the yellow folder looks dated. Like I said, it's not the end of the world, I just prefer the old folder icon.
  
  I agree 100% with your second point. The "old" Edge looks so much better. The main/top part of the browser is not as tall, the URL bar is perfectly sized (the new one is HUGE), there are no Fluent elements etc. I absolutely love the new context menu design though (I believe this will be the default context menu design for the whole OS in the future).
  
  Smooth scrolling in the old Edge is also the definition of perfection and thankfully, it's coming to the new Edge as well (scroll down a bit to the blue row): https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/welcome
