Chrome favorites aren't stored locally. Is it?? Well that could work but you would be risky privacy. This is waht happened about the borwser thing when edge was transfering files to edge when importing without permisson. MALWARE

I think browsers keep a local copy of that stuff as well as a cloud based copy which syncs PC/mobile etc, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

My reasoning is based on the existence of the 'Settings->Favorites->Import' menu in Edge currently, it does exactly what this feature request is asking for.

 

No Google sign in or app permissions required, because its all happening on the local machine.

 

The only change is to have a setting to do this sync automatically on application open rather than on request.

    Yeah, but some people dont' like it that edge is copying files over wihtout permisson.

    Since it is doing this in the background, it would been less performace and privacy. You have to give it permisson to auto do it.
