Import Data from Google Chrome to the New Microsoft Edge
Currently, we don't support import from any dev/beta/canary versions of Chrome. We only allow import for the stable version of Chrome.
That said, please do keep sharing your feedback on the new Edge. We keep a close eye on user voices and if there are enough asks on this front, we would love to update our roadmap accordingly.
rishavsharan can you explain how do we import favorites, bookmarks, password saved on chrome to edge beta silently.
I am able to import History from chrome to edge beta but not favorites, bookmarks and saved passwords from chrome to edge beta.
Microsoftgoto the Settings page > profiles > Import browser data.
in the dialog you should see the options to import data from Chrome.
You can also use the clickable URL:
This is what you should see in the Import Browser Data dialog on Edge Beta right now.
- The link works perfekt!
bstory @rishavsharan I was using an outdated version of Edge. I updated and the instructions are clear now. Thanks 🙂
rishavsharanI'm not finding Profiles anywhere in settings.
- You can export your bookmarks to HTML format and import them to any browser.
passwords are trickier rishavsharan Apart from explicitly importing do we have any other option/s to import chrome or any other browser data into edge beta.
- rishavsharanI don't think that would work. You will need to explicitly import Chrome data into Edge using this dialog option.
If you have sync enabled, you can then have the same data migrate across to all devices/browser instances. rishavsharan Is there any file or folder we can copy to make this happen for all users. When I copied and pasted localstate file from chrome to edge beta it did not show anything in edge beta.
