New security feature: blocks extensions which mess with the new tab page, home page and search engine. I noticed because I use a blank new tab page extension.

This is an option? I can't see why this would ever be permitted without a pop-up notification.
It should remain one as well, Chrome is easily hijacked by malicious extensions which mess with those settings.
You will be informed in the extension page. Obviously, prior to that, you will notice that your extension's icon disappeared.

That was my point. Why is there an "allow"?

Because extensions like speed dials need permission to change new tabs. It's not only malware that will change them.

Sorry, Microsoft, but your Edge web browser will NEVER be installed on my Linux computer
As you may know, I am a big proponent of Linux on the desktop. I prefer Fedora to both Windows 10 and macOS, and I use the operating system regularly to get work done. Over the years, I went from being a minority as a desktop Linux user, to... well... OK, fine, we desktop Linux users are still a...

This is usually what haters say trying to give weight to their opinion...lol
Which shows the lack of security understanding ( a browser is an AV now? ROFL, users never click on malicious stuff right?...) and profound ignorance of what business is... (lol you sell hamburgers, you also sell Coca-Cola but it is anti-competitive to make a combo menu? hahahaha)
i found reasons (integrated smartscreen, built-in, sync, no-Google, etc...).
your biased opinion, which worth...nothing.
Another click-bait article made by a disguised-hater having nothing else to do. MS don't push ChromEdge on Linux, they offer it. If people want to use it on Linux, good for them. so go back using FF and STFU.

Just got 79.0.309.12. My desktop icons changed, but my apps and taskbar in icons remain the old version even after a reboot.
Maybe the icon cache is the issue?

@Telos - this update was a bust. Icon issues and browser crashing on launch. I fixed the crashing but there are still issues with icons. Icons have been a recurring issue on and off over a number of updates.

Only downside for me is that bing search on new page will sometimes give you ads during searching, wich is confusing for family members
I hoped i could change new page with duckduck extension, but nope

Does anyone else think that the Beta version is actually more consistent and stable? Bookmark sync is also working without an issue in the Beta. I personally switched to Beta for the time being and waiting for the official launch of Stable in mid-January.

Yup same issue. Funny how the shortcut has the new icon at the location "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" But not when you search for it in start menu.Just got 79.0.309.12. My desktop icons changed, but my apps and taskbar in icons remain the old version even after a reboot.

I've turned off the running in background. I think the update and running processes was eating up resources.

yesterday
@HotCakeX I updated the original release notes post, but I'll mention down here too that there's a known bug for the Task Bar icons not updating properly, and we're going to try to push out a fix for it over the next day or two. There are a few other places that we're also aware of that don't have the proper icons yet (Task Manager, the all apps list in the Start Menu, the Windows Search results pane), but if you find any other places the icons aren't getting updated, please let us know!
