Thanks everyone for sharing your perspective on this topic. It is really helpful to see the sentiments and thoughts towards such a possibility. Please consider this thread closed for now. Stay assured, we are paying attention to everyone's requirements and concerns and are committed to doing the right thing for all of you.
I have seen that you have decided to kind of close this thread, but I still would like to express my sincere interest in this issue. Similar to many others, I would like to have more freedom in choosing different browsers on different devices, ideally with the option to sync my bookmarks, history and open tabs (and potentially even autofills/passwords) between different browsers and digital ecosystems.
- Why would you like an ongoing sync between the two? What problem would it solve for you?
Using different browsers in different settings (workplace vs personal, mobile vs desktop, even running two browser instances on the same machine to better separate different activities) - Do you expect to leverage this ongoing sync only for a short period of time (for instance during initial assessment of Microsoft Edge) or for long period (continue to use multiple browsers)?
it will certainly be a requirement to make the switch, as it makes it easier to test Edge on a single device for some time, but I could also imagine using it long-term if it's more convenient to use different browsers in different settings - How would the absence of this ability change your perspective on Microsoft Edge adoption?
I won't adopt it until this issue is addressed - Would the creation of a Chrome extension fulfil your requirement?
Potentially, but an alternative might be to include the google account in the list of accepted profiles
