Missing resource icons in DevTools Network panel #432
Description
Description
In Edge DevTools, the request-type/file-type icons that used to appear on the left side of entries in the Network panel's Name column are missing.
Actual behavior
- Icons for resource types are not displayed in the Name column
- Requests still load normally
- Status / Type / Size / Time columns are displayed correctly
- Only the icons are missing
Expected behavior
The Network panel should display the corresponding resource-type icon for each request in the Name column.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Edge
- Open DevTools with
F12 - Go to the Network panel
- Refresh a page
- Observe that the icons to the left of the Name column entries are missing
Affected resource examples
.json.css.svgfavicon.ico
Notes
This looks like a UI rendering/styling issue rather than a request-loading issue. (I know the icon used to be there in previous years.).
This makes debugging much more difficult for me. When I need to find a specific request, I have to rely on the often long and cluttered file-name suffixes to identify its type, which significantly reduces the efficiency of locating and filtering requests.

请问你解决了吗，现在最新版还是没有

还没有，主要的调试工作还得是chrome，edge就先搁着吧（本来就是作为日常浏览器用的）

I can reproduce this issue as well. Edge is my primary browser, and the missing resource-type icons make network debugging noticeably less convenient.
On the same page, Chrome displays distinct icons next to Fetch/XHR requests and WebSocket connections in the Network panel's Name column, while Edge leaves that area blank.
This is particularly inconvenient when inspecting WebSocket messages: with the request details open, only the Name column is visible in the narrow request list on the left. The icons help distinguish request types at a glance while keeping the Messages tab open. Showing the Type column in the full table or switching between type filters does not fully replace that workflow.
I remember these icons being visible in older versions of Edge, although I cannot identify the exact version where they disappeared.
Current installed environment (checked on September 29, 2026):
I've attached screenshots of Edge and Chrome for comparison. Internal URLs, request names, identifiers, and message payloads have been covered with opaque gray patterned masks for privacy. The request-type icon area has been left unchanged.
Could the team please investigate restoring these icons and share any available workaround or update on a fix? Thank you.
