I hope they improve performance of the servers soon.
i'd also suggest you to do this on Canary version since it's more recent and has more fixes and updates.

Is there a way to know what all devices are syncing the edge chrome favorites. I have deleted all devices from account.microsoft.com, except the one i am using, but the deleted favorites keep appearing all over again
- HotCakeXJan 03, 2020MVPThere is no such feature in Edge inside yet. on Firefox I can see my other syncing devices but on Edge I can't.
