The Ellipsis menu button in Edge goes vertical

 

 

Previously looked like this

 

 

Edge canary Version 88.0.705.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)

 

 

what do you think about this change?

in my opinion, when we click/tap on it, the menu that opens is vertical, so it also makes sense to have the 3 dots vertical too to represent it.

    It was vertical for me for a couple of days but now it's reverted to horizontal. I think horizontal makes for sense as it's at the end of a horizontal row of icons (favourites, history etc) - although I realise that not everyone will have these showing. Essentially though, I don't have any issue with it either way. 😊

      Yes looks like as others said it came from Chromium for a short period of time, glad it's gone 🙂

        It's still vertical for me and very ugly on mouse over. You can see in snapshot. Don't know what's cooking with that button but I really want to see 3-line hamburger icon like we have in Apps across Windows 10 & Microsoft services instead of 3 dots either horizontal or vertical. I also submitted this feedback via "Send Feedback" but don't know how team will look into this issue and suggestion.

        What you think about hamburger icon?

    No, Horizontal menu is better and it should be horizontal, to be consistent with other Microsoft apps in windows 10.

    Also that Question mark looks trash in settings, I hope microsoft reverts both of them.

        I think it is from upstream Chromium only, otherwise it would have been updated with the rest of fluent icons.
