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.
Alejandro Barreto while I was surprised to see edge soak up all my chrome data, I'm not mad at it. This is by far my most beloved feature of this browser.
Plus, it says it:
You did confirm, so as for most "problems" we all know the source of this one.
I see your point though. Importing data is an important step and maybe should have a seperate popup, which isn't easily confirmed. Maybe a selection, which forces you to choose which, if any data should be imported.
Cedup You're right. I installed Edge Preview on another computer and saw the same screen. I must have just clicked through quickly. User error, yes.
Yet I still stand by this issue. That dialog looks like a tip. I always click through tips so I can get going faster. I did not expect to see my bookmarks because I didn't believe I had made a choice to add them. The dialog could be designed so that it stands out more, or forces you to make a decision instead of just "Confirm".
