What?! Why is there the fluent new tab icon only for the guest profile?

Silver Contributor

Hello Insiders!

 

Today I noticed something weird...

 

When I log in to Edge as a guest, I see the new fluent tab icon:

But not on my profile:

it's edge://ntp, when you see MSN new tab as a regular user
@msekmfb1 I don't understand what you're saying.

When you're browsing as a guest, you're getting Edge/Chromium internal new tab page, which has the new icon.
When you're browsing under a regular user (your profile), MSN/Bing web new tab page (the one with bookmarks, news, etc.) loads instead. It still has the old icon.
Will most likely be updated by the time Edge team are done upgrading the icons, if not then you can remind them with a piece of feedback
This is fixed now in Edge Version 89.0.773.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)

the new icon appears everywhere: (new tab page, inPrivate mode, Guest mode, another profile, application guard window)
