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!

@HotCakeX I updated the original release notes post, but I'll mention down here too that there's a known bug for the Task Bar icons not updating properly, and we're going to try to push out a fix for it over the next day or two. There are a few other places that we're also aware of that don't have the proper icons yet (Task Manager, the all apps list in the Start Menu, the Windows Search results pane), but if you find any other places the icons aren't getting updated, please let us know!

Where do I start?
Scrollbar overlay is still broken. I don't have the overlay scrollbar as I had it turned on previously and the option to turn it on is still missing.
Scrolling is broken to **bleep** again, feels like the old Edge (BAD) and the last time I had this problem I disabled "experimental smooth scrolling" or something like that and THAT flag is also missing.
Are these changes meant to be this way or typical development woes? I'm genuinely curious because I totally understand development (game developer) and things can and will go wrong, but if these changes are planned, well, I'm out.

So many issues with the new taskbar icon, I don't even know where to start. Clean install doesn't fix these issues. Here's just two:
See attached screenshot. Now I have a "double icon" on the taskbar when the browser is open. As you can see, Chrome & Opera (and even notepad) are behaving correctly. There is no workaround, eventually the "double icon" will appear. Never happened prior to today's update.
Also, the right-click options have now vanished when the browser is closed but are there when the browser is open. Never happened prior to today's update.
UPDATE: it appears both of the issues have been solved in this forum: "unpin the icons, then with browser open pin them again." I had un-pinned & re-pinned many times but not with the browser open. Definitely a weird glitch (& only happens if you unpin the original taskbar icons & then re-pin new ones).

New icons look way too similar to Firefox's icons. Below pic is Edge Beta Icon to the left and Firefox Nightly to the right:

A new bug?
In beta - when you click on the url field, the onscreen keyboard is displayed on my surface
in Dev and Canary, it used to bring up the keyboard but now it tries to select the text. Even if it's an empty field. Please advice since this is very bad

@Basaingeal Uninstall the current instance. Then remove delete installation folder from C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Beta folder then reinstall again. It will bring the new icon.

@Anthony I had same feeling at the first time I saw new Edge icon.

@josh_bodner do not know why, but I saw a big space at the end of Edge menu few times after upgrading to this new Dev build.

@dung_h2 I saw the same issue today after updating Edge to version 80.0.320.3, Edge offered to solve it by repairing the AdBlock extension, which basically reinstalled it.
You can try clicking on the Repair option, or you can uninstall it and reinstall it again from the Microsoft Edge Store.

@dung_h2
I cannot repro this & I don't have the space at the bottom.

Is it only the Bing page that is slow to load? I use the same as you, but, mine loads faster than you can blink. Such slowness can have many causes.

I don't know if i should laugh or cry. You got time to introduce bloatware as that game. You got time to destroy good functions
the latest is the move of the extension icons. Now I have to click on ... every time I need to see information from my extensions. A total disaster in user experience
it also is another change from classic edge even harder and more expensive
But you dont care about that or fixing the things we need. Like the missing buttons in the start menu.
GA in jan. Sure, Critical features missing, Ux is a disaster, stability isn't good. Eats batteries.
Vista, Me and Edge chromium. All of the same quality
