Did not expect to see my Chrome bookmarks on install

I didn't expect to see all my Chrome bookmarks on Edge first launch. It should have asked me before importing them. Or if the issue is that it's looking at Chrome's bookmark DB, that's unideal.

    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 wanted Edge Dev to import my Edge favorites. It imported from Chrome. This will cause trouble if it synced with my Microsoft account (I have separate sets of favorites). 

 

Now how do I delete the Edge Dev favorites and start again?  I uninstalled and re-installed - the Chrome favorites returned.

 

The User Date folder is empty. - C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Edge Dev\User Data
