In the Sync settings I see all the grayed-out options (like syncing tabs and history) are gone. I hope this doesn't mean you're dropping the future rollout of those features. I'm counting on syncing history, tabs, settings, etc. at some future point, please tell me you're doing this.

Hi,

this is the developer's response to this:

"this is not a mistake. It is also not a change of plans. We are still working on bringing History sync, Extension sync, and Open Tab sync to our next version of Edge. We are cleaning up the UX in the meantime, as we have heard feedback that it is confusing to some people why the setting was greyed out."

Whew! Thanks for the explanation from the developer, it's great to hear that the features are still coming. It's the one thing from Chrome that I miss.

Incidentally, I noticed in the latest stable Chrome that they added the cool favicon/spinner animation that Edge sadly removed in the last build. Hopefully that will make its way back in too. I thought it was very helpful.

You're welcome ^^
Yes absolutely, to me History and Extension sync are as important as favorite sync

Yeah, when it was added, some people in this forum posted that it's a bug, I knew it was a new feature but since other people asked to be removed, Edge devs removed it..
