Is there any way to customize this in settings or through a flag to bring the icons back, or is it a permanent removal?

[Propheticus]

No way to customise, sorry.

Please bring back the icon

Please consider a way to bring the icons back. Removing it is a regression in both usability & aesthetics.

Icons in these menus have always helped me quickly identify items I want much faster than plain text-only labels ever could.
Without icons to distinguish each items, all context menu items now look like they're mushed together into one wall of text, which is worse for quick recognition.

Icons also helped improve the look of the browser and made it feel more modern. Without icons, the context menu looks more like ones found in old or technical software.

Please reconsider the decision. And I hope there are no plans to make the situation worse by removing the icons from the Browser/Application Menu. This change is a step backward.

Coming here to say the same thing, it's way harder to navigate the context menu without the icons. They were a very easy target... something else also changed about the context menu color, sometimes their background mixes with the website behind, probably a border removal?

As an aside, it just makes it inconsistent if you have any extensions that still show icons:
