Syncing tabs / Sending tabs to another device
There is just one reason why I'm not able to migrate from FF to Edge Chromium: Syncing tabs or sending tabs to another device is not yet implemented! Is it already on the roadmap?

A supplementary answer to your question, you can use the Share function in the Edge insider browser And the Your Phone app on your mobile phone to send tabs and links to your devices.
This way is different from browser syncing and can be used right now
These instructions are from Edge insider Version 79.0.301.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
Let me know how it goes,
here is the official help regarding the Your Phone app

Hi again,
i think i replied to you on the other thread ^^
so when you open the history flyout or sidebar by clicking on its icon on Edge toolbar, there is a section called "Tabs from other devices"
in there you should be able to see tabs from other devices that are open, and open them on another device.

Hi,
I know that feature and it's really pretty cool but imagine the following use case:
You've found an interesting page on your mobile phone but it's easier to read on the desktop and want to send it to the desktop and close the tab on the mobile phone. In this case you don't want to grab a tab that is open on the mobile phone (because it's no longer open) but you want to go ahead on the desktop with the tab you have received from the mobile phone. Got it? 😉
Have a look at Firefox, here you can send a tab to another device without need to leave it open.
