Thank you all for letting us know; we're sorry to hear that you're encountering issues with syncing Favorites. It looks like there is a known issue with the deduplication tool in some of the older builds, as the fix makes its way up. Please feel free to try one of our other builds (https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download) and let us know if you still see these issues.

 

And if you haven't yet, please submit detailed feedback and diagnostic data through the browser (Shift+Alt+i) as it helps our devs troubleshoot.

      I just updated the Edge browser to 85.0.564.51 (64-bit) and I STILL am getting duplicating favorites.  When is Microsoft going to provide a resolution?

        johnT3Pro and pnikam -- Starting in https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download this week, we implemented the beginnings of some improvements to removing these finicky duplicate favorites. It's not available to all users just yet (it's following our CFR process), but  we'll let you know when it is available to all users.

         

        Hopefully that helps!
