MissyQ Stunningly inept to delay history syncing (by months!) at the last moment.
You've lost another tester here. There's no continuity without complete syncing (Settings, History, Extensions, Dictionary, etc. Why should we either test and/or use a 2000s-era browser?). Like Chrome, your browser is feeling like a test-bed for a multi-billionaire conglomerate "play with something", while refusing to address your actual flops & failures with consumers.
Your decision is disturbingly opaque and reeks of procrastination ("Work on the easy stuff first: it'll look like we're being productive"). This is a development failure, a communication failure, an expectations failure, and a goodwill failure.
Glad at least I know to end this experiment now; better to jump ship now than to be here when syncing is further delayed to winter 2020 for Insiders and summer 2021 for stable: if you didn't expect architectural changes months ago, what other surprises are lurking in your was-once-a-working-codebase-now-a-landmine-field-needing-architectural-changes-to-sync-profiles? Yikes.
And to think that history syncing was ever something "difficult" and/or "delayed" speaks to how Microsoft's employees actually use a browser: hardly for work, mostly for play.
Nope. Not giving this a chance: the faith is gone.

I felt the same, I was sad to hear it was postponed to the next season.
but there are few things here.
they prioritized the sync features and gave extension syncing more priority and it was wise because it's more important than web history syncing. it takes way more time to install extensions one by one, specially when they are from different stores.
also we don't know the technical difficulties going on in the project.
I was thinking why Microsoft aren't hiring more engineers and developers to work on the Edge project simultaneously to develop all of the features quickly, I haven't managed to find an answer to my question.
with all of that said, and to be fair and honest, the Faith is definitely not gone. no browser went from 0% to 100% in a year, and it's not even been a year since the new Microsoft Edge started, YET we see Edge is kicking Chrome's butt.
Yes Chrome, the browser with more than a decade experience and Time to perfect itself.
it's Always good to tell both sides of the story.
