The Missing Sync Items from "Settings"
Just want to make sure: even Settings sync is 95% unfinished for everybody, right? I'm perpetually needing to add the same words back to the dictionary on each system. The same with search engines. I...
Hi there, I work on Edge. You are right that there are many settings that do not sync. Right now, only a few sync (homepage, homepage is your new tab page, restore on start up, for example). We are actively working on expanding the number of settings that sync.
I'm on Canary and only these rows are working for me

Bookmarks
Collection
Passwords

the rest are empty. zero. 0
so that means even though I'm using all of the features of Edge canary Version 81.0.396.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
but the sync does not recognize them.
majority of the unrecognizable rows in the sync internals fall under "Settings sync"
- Thank you for checking, HotCakeX, on Canary.
Sync, for all the planning done otherwise, was not planned out as well as other features.
To reiterate, if MS is not going to sync significant amounts of data from Settings, it'd be nice if they informed Stable users who might otherwise think, "Huh, I guess sync isn't working." Instead, it's going to be fixed soon, but it's not there yet.
After all the other browsers have figured out sync, I'm just surprised Microsoft couldn't nail this from the get-go.- Totally agree, Settings sync also should be changed to "coming soon" status until it is fully covering all of the bits in Edge settings.
