I don't really appreciate random unidentified things like this that just turn up, especially on a work laptop.

Hello Jamie,
I am Jaspreet Singh.
The icon change is for "edge for business" mode of the brower which was announced to be coming in an update later a couple of months back

A few more functionalities have been added in this month : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/mi...

As long as I "understand" what this "strange briefcase" means, it doesn't really matter, but still I feel many people ask about the meaning of a "briefcase" in their Edge icon...
But as clearly explained it only means "edge for business" :-)
What a brilliant idea from MS
I suggest that the roll-over-pop-up (hover) text tell what these sub-icons mean. They are indeed annoying and distracting if one doesn't know what they mean, because we can't tell if it's important or not. Let's settle on a hover convention or similar, please. This also applies to applications, such as Teams.
