akhator Just putting my hand up to say yes this would be useful.
Especially as we are in this stage where people (such as myself) have decided to use both for whatever their reason. Maybe it is Chrome is for mobile and Edge for desktop, maybe they are just trying Edge and trying to wean themselves off Chrome. maybe they have a VPN split tunnel and using Edge on VPN and Chrome on the internet.
Extension is fine and of course it should only be optional.
Thanks
- For that matter Google should add Microsoft support to their Chrome browser then
Yes. I can see that some people have good, legitimate reasons to want, or not want this sync. All I really ask is that it is not required or put in for all users. I don't really know how this syncing process would work, or what will have to be done to add it. I do have a concern for security with a massive hole that links up to Google servers and into Edge, and I also am concerned if Google services will need to be added into Edge. It should definitely be optional, and they should go more in depth about what will have to be done to accomplish this.
Mason425 Yep. agreed - whatever the mechanism it should only be a option for those who want it.

I wouldn't really care about the sync that much if it was optional, or if it wouldn't affect everyone else who wouldn't use the sync. I just feel that it is necessary for Microsoft to elaborate more on what needs to be done to get this sync, and what it would mean for people who wouldn't use it. Most of these debates and arguments are coming from people who are afraid about what will need to happen to Edge for this sync to be implemented. I really don't want Edge to have to put in Google services; I just want it to stay as the Microsoft browser it has always been, without Google.
