Importing Tabs and Settings from Chrome

We know the longer you’ve used a browser, the more it feels like home. You’ve set up your browser behavior to your liking and tweaked its various settings to fit your needs. It has all your user data...

"Nobody wants to set up the browser with their data and settings all over again. "

True that.

so please make Edge insider to sync all the custom settings we set so we won't have to apply all of our modifications again when we install it on another device.
currently very few settings are synced with "settings sync" option turned on.

HotCakeX Especially the Flags if possible. I understand it's not easy since Flags change, become standard, new Flags are being introduced etc,  but still it would be great.

 

P.S. The most important thing. Please, keep the browser as un-bloated as you can; especially since you removed 50 completely useless Google services from the browser at the beginning. Don't add 50 Microsoft's services instead. Right now I consider the beta version the best browser out there. Especially when there are Flags like "D3D11on12" and "Turn off caching of streaming media to disk". We'd like to take advantage from all the new cool stuff Win 10 has to  offer ( I don't mean Cortana; just performance wise  ). And funny thing. Edgium doesn't lag anywhere while the original Edge feels somewhat sluggish, like opening a tab, loading a page and more. You would think a clean browser built only for Win 10 would be the second best thing after sliced bread. And this on a 2000 euros PC, not some cheap tablet.
