Did not expect to see my Chrome bookmarks on install
Thank youAlejandro Barreto and everyone else, for trying out the preview builds and really appreciate the feedback.
The way the first-run experience on preview builds works currently is: it picks your most-used browser as a recommendation for you to "Start with your data" imported from that browser. Alternatively, you can "Start from scratch" (which sets up the browser without importing any data) or choose to import from a different browser/profile instead using the "Customize import & sync" option.
From what we've heard so far: the "Customize import & sync" option is not quite noticeable in its current form -- and we intend to work on improving it's discoverability, so that you can easily pick a specific browser/profile to import from. Stay tuned for improvements and we look forward to yoru feedback.
I have a few browsers installed, including Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and more - each with their different uses and favorites - yet here it imported my Old Edge favorites and didn't import a single thing from Chrome, so I'm surprised at how it behaved on your installation. Maybe it imports automatically from the default browser ? Original Edge was my default so it would make sense.
AmineI Edge was my default browser. I had to go into settings after installation to import those favorites. I don't recall it asking about importing favorites during the install. I thought I noticed something about enabling sync which I did thinking that would pull in favorites and possibly passwords.
