Sam,
You are mixing apples & oranges. Browser History and having the browser work with Windows 10 Timeline are 2 (very) different things. Sure, one can hold the back button to see past visits & manage that; nothing new.
Timeline is more about the OS than, the browser. It's a Feature of Win10 not, of the browser The browser just has to be compatible with it.
But, Win10 Timeline exists & works, inherently not, 'forced', with the default browser as part of the OS. It can go back a long way (in time), show heaps more activities (than browser history) and one can, actually, 'see' those sites rather than just a list. Plus, there is how one can handle what shows in Timeline, the 'controls' or 'tools' it has AND its search ability. Lastly, it is a nice help when navigating across multiple desktops.
Anyway, the point is, Win10 Timeline works with Edge. But, right now (hopefully this changes, soon!), Timeline will not work with Edge C without adding an extension from the Chrome store. Having to do that should not be necessary any more than it is w/ Edge.
Sure Timeline is browser history, BUT, it is far more than what the back button gives❗ If Win10 offers one all the neat stuff it does, one may as well, actually, use the stuff & be able to use it.
Cheers,

Once Edge C is Win10's default browser, (I suggest) it will work with Timeline. To have it work with Dev, (for) now (or, in the meantime), I made Dev the default browser & grabbed the Timeline extension from the Chrome store.
And, certainly, if one is using Edge, now, that does, of course, work, now, with Timeline.
Cheers,
