Edge on Linux, cannot import from Chrome or Chromium?
When I go to the import wizard, only Firefox profiles are listed, not Chrome/Chromium that I have installed. Is this type of import not supported on Linux Edge?
Thanks for the reply here. I'm a tad lost on some of your terminology; I've been doing Unix/Linux for 25+ years, not sure what you mean by "registered". Usually, an app will just probe under $HOME/.config, etc.
Either way, bookmarks aren't what I'm after; I'm looking for it to import current session/tabs.
I'm concur with the not wanting to use Chrome (note though, I use Chromium at least). This issue is making it hard to migrate though.

I used "registered" (in scare quotes) with intent, precisely because it is not a Linux term. The reason I did so is that the various discussions I've read on the topic are conflicting/unclear about the reasons why Edge and some other user-installed browsers have difficulty importing user data/settings from browsers other than the distro's default browser. I've seen suggestions that the issue arises because of data location, permissions and other things. I should have made that clear when I replied.
