Planned for January

Enable sync of browsing history between devices

New!

 

Very excited to see syncing finally get a timeline: I was absolutely uneasy that this feature either 1) might not launch in the first stable release or 2) not have enough testing and launch with a lot of broken corner cases.

 

Browser history syncing especially, could take a lot of testing between all the operating systems Edge supports: iOS to Android to MacOS to Windows 10 to Windows 8 to Windows 10.

 

Unrelated: will Edge get a new name, too? I guess we'll always call them "Old Edge with the single color E" vs "Chromium Edge with the swirly and colorful E". And will 1809 + 1903 + 1909 automatically get the new Edge or only 20H1 users? Maybe we'll get more answers this week at Ignite!

ikjadoon I love the name "Chromium Edge" as opposed to "Edge Chromium". It really owns the name "chromium" and makes it sound like an upgraded version of Chrome.

    Microsoft always refers to the new Edge as "Edge" though, not Chromium Edge. the brand and official name is just Edge and I like that because you don't call opera the chromium opera after they switched to Chromium source or any other browser.
    so there is no point in advertising for Chromium by putting that word next to Edge.
