I use many profiles - current count is 21 - and the profile picture in the top right corner does not really give me the best idea about which profile a window belong to.
It would be nice if I could show the profile name next to the profile picture - so it would look something like the InPrivate browsing (where it says "InPrivate"):
Update 2020-02-07:
When you open an InPrivate browser session, the name could be shown as:
"InPrivate: <profile name>"
It should be an global option to show or not show profile name.

@ahl2ndc Thanks for the suggestion. To clarify, do you mean have a profile name that's automatically pulled from the signed-in account, or one that you could add and edit manually?

@Deleted My thought would be the name you can add and edit manually (se below). Many of the browser profiles I've set up is not logged into a Microsoft account - actually I've only have one that is signed in and synchronized.
The name you put in, when you "Edit profile":
So just showing the same name as in the profile list:
Thanks!
Also, am I missing something or is it not possible to use your own photo, unless you're logged into the browser and it pulls your picture from your MSA/Company account?

My rationale was that if you want it to be the name of your MSA, then you could name your profile that and Edge will show that name.
As a in-between solution, Edge could name the profile the name of the connected MSA, when you first connect the MSA to Edge, but after that, you have to maintain the name in Edge, using the "Edit profile"-function.

Both solutions would be fine with me.
Regarding the colour I like to be able to change the colour and I would like it to be customisable too with the following options:
Colour would help me to quickly identify if a browser profile has access to a production, test og development enviroment.
