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!

  Hi Deleted , thanks for the update. Waiting for it to go live into stable version. I have turned off the sync feature till then. Thank you for all the hard work Edge team is putting towards it.
  
  Thanks.

    Hi pnikam and Deleted - appreciate the info. I had turned OFF sync across ALL my devices, but still get the duplicate favorites showing up on my laptop edge browser. Will look for GA of Canary to see if it fixes it.
