arrbee99   I ran into this issue early on with Edge Dev on one on my desktop (although in my case it wan't Chrome, but Firefox). 

 

The fix is to click "Other Favorites", then (at the bottom) "Manage Favorites", check to see that the "Imported from Chrome" list is redundant, and (if so) remove it.   Going forward, you'll just have "Other Favorites".

 

Importing from other browsers has always been sketchy, as far back as I can remember.  It would be a good thing if the Edge team managed to build a flawless "import your bookmarks from ..." process, but if it happens, it will be a first.

tomscharbach Thanks for the info. Must admit it seemed easiest to just drag 'Other Favorites' into the top horizontal favorites bar.

Still, while 'flawless' might not be achievable, it would be nice if the imports could be less buried, if you see what I mean.
