Timeline!!

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,
Drew
