 |  Twitter's rebrand to X is causing scam alerts on Microsoft Edge It seems to be related to how Edge and other Chromium-based web browsers deal with favicons (or 'Progressive Web App Icon Change', if you want to get super technical about it). With the Twitter rebrand being so sudden, Edge likely thinks X is a scam. The security alert prompts users to review the icon update and reads, "If this web app is trying to trick you into thinking it's a different app, uninstall it." https://www.engadget.com/twitters-re...3.html?src=rss |
