Yellow folders are back!!

Silver Contributor

First thing that hit me as Version 80.0.359.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) the latest  update was starting...  Yeah! Yellow folder icons are back.. NOW they look like folders... Thank You!

Now if you could only fix them so we can have them to only show the icon without the name, this would be PERFECT!!

@Mark Nolte Agreed, big step backward. There's so much visual clutter on our screens. The simple outline of the folder was perfect.

I hope they are.
My reason is actually very valid.
Yellow is the worst color for getting burn-ins on an OLED screen.
I use my HTPC on a LG OLED C8 in my living room.
I have to use Firefox or Opera just because we can't choose folder colors in either Edge or Google Chrome.
I actually got a new panel on my LG C7 OLED (now standing in my bedroom :) ), because the yellow folders in the bookmark bar created a bad burn-in...
Hmm, so that monitor couldn't show a few yellow colors? maybe it was a problem with that hardware.
I play lots of games on my PC thus i see a lot of colors, many of them yellow, none of them burn my pixels or monitors. in your case i think it was just a bad hardware and not a problem of a browser.

It's not a monitor. Both my LG C7 and C8 are 65" OLED tv's. 
They are prone to burn-ins, and yellow is the worst color. 
When using a HTPC in the living room, with such yellow bookmark folders, you get small squared burn-ins after a while of surfing with Edge (and Chrome as well)

But it is extremely unlikely..I don't know what is going on in your setup and hardware but like I said I play lots of games, use colorful backgrounds, even right now half of my desktop background consists on yellow color. been having my monitor for +10 years, not a single burnt pixel on it.

that's why having yellow bookmark/favorite icons shouldn't have that much effects on monitor pixels..that just doesn't make sense..my monitor is also from LG.

sir Please answer why folder is always in yellow colour @Dennis5mile 

Because Edge developers made it that way.
uumm, and you are asking me this because?
