With todays Canary update we have new sync options.... Passwords have made it to sync... Dennis5mile

HotCakeX "Sync features go on and off randomly. they are very unstable and have been like that for the past months." Syncing in Edge Chromium is one area where I wish Microsoft would get its act together. I suspect that I'm typical of multi-device users in that respect, and things seem to be getting worse rather than better. I don't know if others have had this experience, but since the "Edge Deletes Edge" boondoggle (in which the Edge Team effectively deactivated EdgeHTML by removing it from the Start apps list and apps search results in both Insider and (then later) production builds of Windows 10, seemed to be caught by surprise, and subsequently tried to reverse the situation), EdgeHTML no longer syncs across the three computers I'm using to test Edge Chromium. I wonder if that's the case for others who got caught up in the boondoggle. I haven't made a fuss about it because I haven't used EdgeHTML as a primary platform in months, but in my case, the fact that EdgeHTML no longer syncs renders EdgeHTML completely useless as a backup browser and increases my impatience with diddling around with Edge Chromium syncing.

Not really. it's been there for more than 2 weeks.https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Let-us-Import-browser-data-from-Google-chrome-beta-and-canary-to/td-p/765016

Not on my system it hasn't been.....Dennis5mile

you said "we" as if the options were just made available in Canary. it was first introduced weeks ago, Edge team put country restrictions on the sync features, i've seen a lot of users testing it by VPN, those sync features get disabled on certain countries. nobody from Microsoft responses.

HotCakeX "it was first introduced weeks ago, Edge team put country restrictions on the sync features, i've seen a lot of users testing it by VPN, those sync features get disabled on certain countries." That's interesting. The sync changes haven't been introduced into the Dev channel (currently Version 77.0.230.2, released July 31). Usually the Dev channel is about a week behind the Canary channels. I'm assuming that the United States is not on the "country restrictions" list, so the unusual lag is probably due to something else. Are the new sync features working reliably at this point in the Canary channels in which they've been released or have there been issues?
