I don't often use Edge (usually accidental by using the windows search
from the taskbar and ending up with Bing/Edge providing results).

Anyway, I wondered why Edge's icon looked different, it had a briefcase
"badge" over it, turns out I'd signed into a customer's 365 site to test
Sharepoint syncing, and somehow OneDrive had decided it should cache the
credentials and use them within Edge ...

The brief case icon indicates/designate being in a 'work browser window'
One of the purposes is to distinguish use and tasks between work-related
and pesonal ones.

Depending upon the edition, build and version of M365 when in 'work'
related mode, there may be an option to disable that briefcase icon for
work profiles in Settings/Appearance.

Yes, once I realised and logged out of the customer's 365, I think it
briefly went to a person/head "badge" then went back to no badge.
