A heads up about Edge Classic Sync
I stripped down my favorites in Edge Classic on my primary computer (which has both Edge Classic and Edge Chromium installed) this morning, leaving just the Favorites Bar and a few essential bookmark...
@akhator I just recieved confirmation from Microsoft Support that the support lead replicated the issue of Edge Classic installed on one computer failing to sync with Edge Classic on another computer when both Edge Classic and Edge Chromium are installed on the two computers. The lead also told me that the issue is going to be submitted to additional teams for review and resolution. The issue is tricky to test and isolate, but I am now confident that MS is aware of the issue and working on it.
This is probably not an issue for most Edge Chromium Insiders because few are doing what I am doing, testing Edge Chromium on three computers to allow me to compare performance in high-end, mid-range and low-end computing environments.
When Edge Chromium replaces Edge Classic, the problem will, of course, go away. But it is likely to take months for Edge Chromium to be released, and so the issue is something to be aware of as you test.

tomscharbach Thank you for all your effort and due diligence. We will look into this further.
akhator I recieved a progress report from Microsoft Edge Support lead on this issue (BUG 21314632) this afternoon: "I wanted to keep you updated, and let you know we are still digging into ways to fix this."
