Problem with favorites bar
Am I the only one having problem with favorites bar in the latest version of Edge dev? Every time I edit something in favorites (delete favorite,show icon only) its reverts back after I re-open Edge dev it was fine before the update.
Thanks
- Hi,
no you're not alone,
"show Icon only" currently is not registered in sync servers so every time that Edge insider periodically checks with favorites sync server, it reverts them back.
It's happening for me as well as lots of others that have posted about this before.
"delete favorites" issue is also related. I even lost some of my favorites thinking that Edge automatically synced all of them but I shouldn't have trusted the green icon.
obvious sync needs so much improvements so my suggestion is to regularly make a backup of your favorites into an HTML file from Edge settings: edge://favorites/
or use another stable browser such as Google chrome as your back up storage

- Yeah that's true, it's as if Beta has its own sync servers
- Same issues here--are there plans to include this in sync servers?
- Not as far as i know, but I hope so.
in the latest change log for Dev (which is the closest thing we can get), they say they disabled favorites sync completely...

nimitz1156 Same issue here, playing on my OCD.

Mine do not change. I may recall it happening once, but, that would have been quite a long time ago.

DrewSync is broken
- Had that problem. Deleted the text the "old fashioned" way by using "edit" and deleting the text. So far, so good, but if it returns, I will simply type a period (dot) in the text box which should not eat up too much space.
