Edge Chromium, Your Phone and synchronization between Windows 10/Edge and Android
that stable released lurking online is not the final product, always use the Canary version because it's the latest and most feature rich version.
also you said you clean installed 1909 a few days ago, but the update has only been generally available since Yesterday. and not for everyone, only for seekers, meaning people who manually click on "check for updates" in the Windows update settings.
when you installed it, it was still in the release preview ring, now it has more updates and finalized.

HotCakeX The 1909 update was available for a quite a while now, sure not through the official channels, but the hashes are the same as the ISOs released yesterday. 1909 ISO was just a 1903 updated ISO with the very small enablement package. I got full updates to it without being an Insider for maybe a month now. Now it's v. 18363.476 with the yesterday hotfix.
Now, for the sync. I'll add a bit more info.
It's not that I don't know how to do it. I used to have the Microsoft Launcher installed in the past, it's no longer necessary. Now you can just install the Your Phone Companion app from the Google Store. It has the same "Continue on PC" functionality. It requires Edge as a browser though, that's the thing. It doesn't ever open the "default browser" on Windows. It wants Edge. When I tried replacing Edge with the Chromium version, Continue on PC stopped working completely. Which is OK, I knew the "stable" was still a beta. What was not OK was that when I followed the steps to get rid of it, the Send Notification/Continue Later part (you can see it on the picture at the end) stopped working, only Continue on PC remained working, which opens a full Edge window. This is why I'm kinda afraid to reinstall this, since it broke functionality for me even after removal.
So, I'm curious if anyone else tested this aspect for the Chrome browser and if Continue on PC will remain a function when it eventually replaces normal Edge somewhere in January.
All in all, thanks for the detailed post, I have no issues with it while running normal Edge, the whole thing is with the Chromium browser.
- It was through official channels though and that was MSDN

also in the Windows insider release preview ring. a new cumulative update released for it yesterday and i think that was why they were waiting until Nov 12th.
