Do not like. Installing Edge v79 so I can use the original style for a little longer. Non-colored folders looked so much cleaner and less distracting from webpage content.

Mark Nolte Agreed, big step backward. There's so much visual clutter on our screens. The simple outline of the folder was perfect.

I sent feedback from browser asking to let us change the favorites folder color and they said they are working on it- BigZ12Jun 06, 2020Copper ContributorI hope they are.
My reason is actually very valid.
Yellow is the worst color for getting burn-ins on an OLED screen.
I use my HTPC on a LG OLED C8 in my living room.
I have to use Firefox or Opera just because we can't choose folder colors in either Edge or Google Chrome.
I actually got a new panel on my LG C7 OLED (now standing in my bedroom 🙂 ), because the yellow folders in the bookmark bar created a bad burn-in...- HotCakeXJun 08, 2020MVPHmm, so that monitor couldn't show a few yellow colors? maybe it was a problem with that hardware.
I play lots of games on my PC thus i see a lot of colors, many of them yellow, none of them burn my pixels or monitors. in your case i think it was just a bad hardware and not a problem of a browser.
