Feature request: copy Edge Chromium Profile data to a new profile
User data are all neatly compartmentalized in your Windows user profile. For my default profile in Edge Stable, the data are in this folder:
"%localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default"
and the first new profile will use this one:
"%localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Profile 1"
Just copy the contents of the first into the second (with all instances of Edge closed, of course).

Ah perfect, thanks! I somehow missed the folder "default" and didn't realize that there is my profile. Copying the whole content over to my already newly created profile, with overwriting all files, seems to have worked perfectly. I only need to login to some of the websites again, but that was expected.
- I found one issue by doing that, it will kill the sync function and it seems that it can't be repaired. I opened a new thread for this: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/import-data-from-profile-1-to-profile-2/m-p/1600664
patoberli Bump. Any update on this?
