Task View doesn't work for Edge Chromium
Hi there,
in order for web history and visited websites to appear in the Task View (a.k.a Windows Timeline), the Edge insider browser needs to have the History syncing option turned on.
currently History syncing is not implemented yet in the browser (grayed out in the picture) but once it is, Task View will show you the relevant information.
so be sure that there is nothing wrong with your Windows.
About the Web activities extension from Microsoft, I personally tried it both on Google Chrome and Edge insider. it doesn't immediately start syncing but after few days the web history shows up in the Task View.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I did notice that setting in the Sync menu, which is part of the reason I had a look for extensions.
It's good to know you got it to work after a few days. Do you have any idea why existing links won't open? Will only the newly created entries be able to be opened?
I've just tried it, clicked on an entry (from August 1st) in my Task view that belonged to the built-in Edge's web history and the website loaded in my Edge insider which is my default browser.
Windows 10 latest ver.
