Yesterday I tried the bookmark syncing between 2 different Edge version, both logged in to the same personal Microsoft account on Windows 10 latest version.
Edge insider canary Version 81.0.381.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
Edge stable Version 79.0.309.56 (Official build) (64-bit)
so I kept both of the browsers open, side by side. I tried deleting a bookmark/favorite in canary and after 3 seconds I could see the same bookmark was deleted from the stable version.
next thing I tried deleting a bookmark in stable version and after 3 seconds the same bookmark disappeared from the canary version.
I also tried deleting folders, it took longer to sync. my folder had around 100 bookmark entries in it.
but I noticed a strange behavior. when I deleted my folder containing 100 bookmarks in either of the Edge versions, I couldn't keep the folder drop down menu open in the other version.
by drop down menu, I am referring to the drop down menu that appears when you click on a bookmark folder on the bookmark bar in Edge browser.
the reason why I couldn't keep that drop down menu open was that, when I deleted the whole folder in one Edge browser instance, it was constantly syncing and deleting the bookmarks inside that folder, one by one, and on the other Edge instance, i could see that the bookmarks are being disappeared one by one, so that was the reason I couldn't keep the bookmark folder drop down menu open. because Edge needed to close it in order to sync the contents inside the folder. I hope this changes so it won't be necessary anymore for the drop down menu to be closed every time.
