  • Update, I got the new InPrivate mode design too!

     

    so yesterday I installed the latest Edge canary (Version 81.0.368.0) but that didn't change anything. today I cleared everything (website data, app data, cache, cookies etc) in my Edge because I was having some problem and then I noticed I have the new InPrivate design!

     

    that made me think that Microsoft is actually controlling who gets what features using the cookies saved in user's device. I don't think Microsoft has an active online server that controls and tracks the controlled feature roll-out or A/B testing.

     

    I will try this again in the future to be 100% sure. anyway thanks for sharing the news about it 🙂

      I like that when searching in Bing from the InPrivate window, we get the black Bing icon (top-left)

       

       

      versus the normal Bing icon which is green

       

       

  • Hi,
    yes that's right, it's part of the controlled feature roll out. I have never even seen that new design until now in your screenshot 🙂
    would you mind mentioning which Edge insider channel and version are you using?
    also how long it's been available?

        Oh okay so the latest canary, same as me.
        it's because it's not available for everyone, CFR or A/B.
