The Global Media Controls key Icon is changed.
Before:
After (Now):
More info about this: this changed happened around 1 weeks ago in Google Chrome Canary, now Microsoft Edge insider got the new change too.
in case you're wondering how to get the Global Media Controls button on your Edge Insider Canary, you can do so by enabling this flag in: edge://flags/
Enables the Global Media Controls UI in the toolbar. – Mac, Windows
Another appearance change: notice the color in the omnibox search suggestions.
Before: it was gray
After (Now): it's pitch black, just like in the classic Edge.
New Tab Page Customization

Oh wow it is in regard to the appearance. Pretty neat.
Why those that are reading this post I encourage to try out Edge Canary. There's a lot of neat features that pop up which aren't (yet) in Developer version and especially not yet in Beta version.

@HotCakeX another thing: the address bar is darker now on the light mode, which looks VERY weird. I hope it's a bug.

@HotCakeX That's not the only change in the Global media controls, there are two other changes which I mention here:
Some nice changes made to the "Global Media Controls" in Edge insider Canary.
And this is another novelty in the Canary version (79.0.286.0):
Microsoft improves the Aura tooltips in Edge insider Canary.

Fortunately, in the build released today in Canary (79.0.290.0), Microsoft has reversed this change, this was a change made in Chromium itself, it was not a change "planned" or on purpose in the new Edge, the omnibox returns to have the same nice color of before.

@HotCakeXI am very happy that they have restored the gray color, I never liked pitch black, for example, I would like the Settings app (Windows 10) to have the same gray color of the Store, I think most people prefer gray over pitch black, that's why Microsoft recently changed the color of the aura tooltips.
