UPDATE 3: 320.5 has been released with the fix for Netflix not working.
UPDATE 2: 320.4 has been released with the fix for the Task Bar icons issue. The Netflix issue is expected to be fixed in another update tomorrow.
UPDATE: We're expecting to release a small update in the next day or two to fix an issue where users with multiple browser profiles still see the old Edge icon on the Task Bar, and an issue where Netflix doesn't work.
Hello insiders, we’ve got some big news today! With today’s Dev Channel update to 80.0.320.3, we’re officially releasing a new icon for all Microsoft Edge channels. You can read more about it here: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2019/11/04/edge-chromium-release-candidate-get-ready. That page also contains a date, January 15th, which is when we expect to release our first Stable Channel build, at which point Edge will be generally available to download on Windows and Mac.
Some of you may have noticed a cryptic update last week. That was part of a series of puzzles that hundreds of insiders participated in over the past weekend. The puzzles culminated in a surfing game hidden inside Edge, and the reward for beating it was the chance to see the new icon before anybody else. You can click here for instructions on how to unlock the game, or just search Twitter for #FindWhatsNext to try solving some of the puzzles!
With all of these exciting announcements, we do have a few known issues that are still in this week’s build:
And now, for all of the new things that are worth noting:
Added features:
Improved reliability:
Changed behavior:
Thank you to everybody who’s been using Edge over the past year. With our GA just around the corner, we hope you know that this is just the beginning of our journey. The Edge Insider program and builds will continue even when there’s a Stable build available, and your feedback on them will be as crucial as ever!

@Basaingeal For me the new icon doesn't show in the taskbar or the taskbar, but it does on the start menu. The reason it does not appear in the taskbar is because it points to "Edge Profile.ico" inside the profile folder, which hasn't been updated.
EDIT: You can fix this by creating a new profile and deleting it, when doing this the ico file will be replaced with the new one even for the old profile.
@josh_bodner Happy to see the jumplist issue being acknowledged in today's changelog!

- Sometimes the browser will appear to not respond to any user input (clicking or scrolling in webpages doesn’t do anything, hovering over UI doesn’t make it change), but clicking on certain buttons still works (like the … menu). The cause of this is due to an error in the GPU process, and opening the browser task manager (right-click near the window minimize/maximize/close buttons or hit shift+esc on the keyboard) will open a window that will allow you to end the GPU process, which will fix the issue.
This issue has been plaguing me for weeks. This would happen every time after visiting a page that used the `background-filter` CSS property. Glad to see it being acknowledged and to know about a workaround.

@josh_bodner Please make Chromium Edge scrolling the exact same as Classic Edge scrolling on multi-touch trackpad and touchscreen devices.
Areas for improvement:
(And yes, these actually are deal breakers for me when it comes to using Chromium Edge instead of Classic Edge)

@Basaingeal Where can I find that "Profile folder". I do love the new LOGO.
Found it!
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Beta\User Data\Default
thanks!

@Basaingeal oh, I thought it was a problem on my end.

I've fixed the startup crash on two PCs by quickly clicking the address bar and pressing Enter before the browser dies. Hasn't happened since.

I still have no Remove button for this -- just Edit.
To expand on this, I set the GPO setting NonRemovableProfileEnabled to false. I still cannot do anything with the default profile. Its gets created no matter what with my domain user. I have confirmed though edge://policy that the setting is present.

I think you need to uninstall (+ delete user data during uninstall) and then download it again

@wigster Do you have Bing as your start page? On my PC Edge Dev crashes every time I try to open Bing.
