Hello Insiders, today we’re releasing build 81.0.396.0 to the Dev Channel. It’s another small update this week as all the excitement from our Stable launch last week winds down (see this post thanking you for all your help in getting us there: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/a-huge-thank-you-to-this-insiders-group/m-p/11114...). For those of you on ARM devices, we also released native ARM64 builds to the Beta channel last week. Now, all of the most noteworthy changes:
Added features:
Improved reliability:
Changed behavior:
Known issues:
A special thanks to all our Insiders who checked out our Stable channel over this past week. We hope you continue being Insiders so we can keep seeing you here!

@josh_bodner Thanks for the update. Loving the new Edge.
I'm now using the official release version as my main browser and I'm happy it doesn't use the intrusive yellow icons. If you guys decide to bring them from the dev to the release version, PLEASE include an option for us to choose between the modern and yellow icons. PLEASE don't force these yellow icons on all of us.
Also, why is what appears to be a Microsoft staff in this post marking someone's personal opinion on the yellow icons as a "best answer". Looks very biased and improper to me.

If I want to edit the 2nd tile creating a new one will be set to the last right.
@little_terry ah, got it, the position is important to you. Makes sense, I'm a visual learner and like things to be consistently placed too It sounds like being able to re-order the top sites tiles would also solve this problem, right?

When you write "sign into it with", does that mean signed in to the browser, so I can synchronize my favorites and so on or is it enough to sign in on a Office 365 sign in page?
@ahl2ndc I mean explicitly sign into the browser. We don't log you into the browser whenever you log into a Microsoft-powered website, but one of the benefits you get when you log into the browser is single sign-on. In other words, we use the credentials you logged into the browser with and automatically use them to log into eligible websites (which it sounds like may not be a good thing in your case if you're logging into websites with different accounts than what you'd be logging into the browser with!)
As for which profile a link opens in, the default behavior is just to use the most recently active profile (or if you've got multiple windows open, each of them in different profiles, it's just the most recently active window). I don't think the automatic profile switching will kick in if you're not signed into the browser with all the profiles either.

I used a junction to link it back to default location. Everything on edge works fine like this except collections.
@lssatvik Collections is still under active development, so it's possible that they're changing the underlying file structure that they rely on, and the way you're redirecting your profile folder is breaking the assumptions they're making about where their files live. Given that moving your user data folder isn't something we explicitly support, you'll probably need to open a support ticket so that our support agents can get some more details about your situation.

@josh_bodner Oh yes, reordering would be a valid alternative solution to edit the url. Thanks for the interest!

Since Microsoft Employee accounts have the ability to mark any comment as best response, they just sometimes do this, they think they like a comment, so instead of actually using the like button, they mark it as best response.
You as the OP can easily remove the best response mark.

So you are saying all the other icons in the menu don't look like what they represent just because they don't have a color? Your argument makes zero sense.
All favorites use site icons (the web sites I have added as favorites) are using colors. For me the colorless icons sticks out, when surrounded by all the other icons.
An argument for making an option for the folder icons to change looks (color vs. monokrome) is that icons can be a big part of the UI for a lot of people and that the change of color makes sense in that regards (big part of the UI).
Edit: Removed a word, so my first sentence makes more sense

@josh_bodner I did not change location in between, so this doesn't make intuitive sense to me. However I just checked the NTP again and the temperature is correct again. Note that clicking on the "wrong" (really, most likely just Fahrenheit instead of Celsius) weather icon did send me to the correct weather page before. This would be a lot easier to diagnose if there was a way to force it to show the actual units though (FWIW I've never seen the unit being omitted for Celsius before, even in English -- is this a Fahrenheit thing?).
