The all new privacy dashboard
here the sync options are reordered
here a new option is added "Microsoft Account" which takes you to your Microsoft account in a new tab
Version 78.0.272.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
this is exactly what Microsoft has shown in What's Next page https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/whats-next
now i wonder what is going to be next after this. because so far all the goals have been achieved! (Internet Explorer mode, Collections, Privacy dashboard) :)

I'm on the latest Canary - Version 78.0.272.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) and I do not see this new dashboard. Is there a switch I'm missing?

It would appear to be another Controlled Feature Roll-out; since, regardless of being on 78.0.272, not everyone has this redesign, yet. (including you & me). Share is another; still, awaiting that, though, some have it, already.

I believe it's a targeted feature.
I have no clue why they are doing it. even Google Chrome doesn't do this. their canary users all are united and have equal access to the features.

They only choose a small group at first and give them the feature, some time later they expand that group and allow more people to use the feature. the thing is, this is not really a feature, just a redesign, the features are the same, only their location and how they look is changed. nothing major like a change in browser engine or something like that.
they should let everyone use this new privacy dashboard.

Yeah, I did not see any of this earlier either, but when I seen your/this post, I looked at my settings and sure enough there it all was..... really odd... lol
I do have to say, I love these changes......

That's not really true,
@Dennis5mile showed multiple new options in this new design
the auto play blocking, the ability to turn off news on the new tab page and if we dig up, we might find even more new stuff.

Yeah and on one of my computers I have "sync tabs" on the settings enabled but on the others, its still gray. Not really useful if you only got one syncing computer.

I'm still waiting for BOTH Share and the fancy new Settings pages. Seems some have this & some have that or some... well, we get the idea, it's a cr@p shoot. And some have had Share since what? 2 (Canary) Builds ago... heck, it's even in Dev now.... well, for some of us, that is
Cheers,

These new designs appeared to me with the new Canary version (78.0.277.0), but I don't know for how much time... lol... Maybe it's still an A/B test

Yeah, even on different devices, I have more stuff than I do on others, like sync tabs. Not much use if I don't have another device to sync to, or even other browsers.
