Syncing Browser History
Does anyone have any idea when Browser History syncing will be available? I want to install Edge Canary on all my devices but can't do it without browser history syncing!

Hi,
hopefully soon, the Devs recently mentioned that the Edge insider browser is soon going to get all of its features.also there has been some weird hints in the Edge settings page regarding history sync, like this one:
that notice wasn't there a week ago, i think they are getting ready to enable it. with history syncing the Windows 10's timeline (taskview) will also start working

It passed almost a year since mentioning history sync. But still no any progress on this, no info from Microsoft, and for Insiders etc.
I hope this feature will be there as soon as possible.
I expect to see:
- sync history between my Windows 10 devices / edge installations where I am signed in with same cloud account (separate Work and Personal accounts)
- sync from my Win 10 PC to my Android phone with Edge on it

HotCakeX thank you for the reference.
Summer is "long term" and it already passed (i believe more than 23 weeks).But ok, nothing we can do, just wait. Strange there is no any info in dev channels etc.
- HotCakeXApr 21, 2020MVPYou're welcome,
wait summer is passed? I think when Microsoft refers to Summer they are talking about the northern hemisphere. where I am it's still Spring 🙂

also about the info, when it's implemented, it first comes to Canary and after some time to Dev channel.- hkusuljaApr 21, 2020MVP
HotCakeX yeah, still nothing in canary and specifying calendar month would be more global info, rather then term "summer" 😛 anyhow, long term already passed and still your spring few months + summer few months is almost 6 months still to go... 😕 huh, no way to speed this up ? 😕
