@WolfIcefang "it could start out full size, but cropped into a circle, then the circle could fill out into a square when it finishes loading."
And isn't that how it worked before? look at these gifs.

- Fixed an issue where the webpage favicon and the loading spinner appear at the same time.
This "bug" actually helps knowing which website is loading; especially when it comes to the scenario where a new website that someone visits for the first time loads for too long, which that "bug" actually helps that someone knowing that it is still loading. I live in a country that is known to have slow/bad internet, which that "bug" helped me a lot on that scenario, especially when it comes to going to sites from far-away countries for Scholar Research.
Please keep that "bug" and turn it into a feature because it fits the Modern look while being useful (especially to those having slow/bad internet connection) at the same time.
I also suggest it being an option to turn it on or off with the default being "on", just in case someone who disliked that feature wants to turn that "feature" off.

I am facing the same issue with favorites... have to switch back to chrome if it doesn't get fixed soon

@josh_bodner It would be cool if you could enable the site icon to rotate when the icon has loaded, but the rest of the page hasn't

I agree. I was surprised, but like the effect.

@josh_bodner It's looking really good. I'm using the Beta branch as my daily driver and I've had no issues. Is there a roadmap currently to have this replace the existing Edge in Windows 10? I'd like to have some heads up so I can put together notifications and training for my users.

Another one who really liked the "webpage favicon and the loading spinner appear at the same time" functionality and sad to see it go away...

A picture is worth a thousand words. (This applies to all 3 Channels)

Looks perfect to me. Quick Links are turned off, and the content is turned off, just like you have set. The arrows are all correct.
