I'm curious if an extension can be built to truly sync users favorites, history, passwords etc. across the browsers without building in Googles hooks into the Edge browser its self. If there is a way to build an extension like this it seems this would be the way to go. This would I think leave people distance them selves from Googles info collection myself included but also enable people that work with both browsers to keep their info in sync.
Forgive me if this is a totally dumb comment. I really have no idea of what functions, permissions, or integrations are needed for an extension like this to work and I'm curious if this is something that can be done.
Well, wait, could you just make a extension taht just stores adn sync extenstions. But not with yoru google sync. It;s own sync . Like a extenstion called Sync, that dosent' store or use the ms or google sync data. It just saves and syncs it.There Is an Icloud extension/Addon for Firefox and when you install it, your bookmarks will be sycned with Icloud and thus Safari browser. I tested it and it was okay, didn't have problems.
Firefox is more secure than Chrome and the policies and tighter, yet that Addon works there perfectly, without adding any Apple related stuff to the browser.
if the same can be done for Edge to sync with Chrome then do it. if it's impossible to do this on a Chromium engine then don't.

- Or make a general extenstion that uses a causal account. LIke signing up for a account online that stores on their database not google or edge.
Maybe something like this icloud extension can be built for Edge. As long as it doesn't involve building in more Google into Edge then I wouldn't mind.
- Yeah. Just dont' put google into Edge.
