BryantB there is no official support for sync bookmarks between two browsers but you can do the trick because both browser uses almost same file format for bookmark.
Step 1: you need to create a "copy_bookmark.bat" script file with this code
xcopy "C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks" "C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Bookmarks" /Y
*use your pc user name instead of "YOUR_USER"
this will copy chrome bookmark file to Microsoft edge location
Step 2: Now open "Task Scheduler" and create new task and setup trigger to "Daily" every 15 minutes and set "Action" to start a program and choose this (copy_bookmark.bat) file
Now this will copy all your chrome bookmarks to Microsoft edge on every 15 mins.
The only issue is that you have to restart the edge to view new bookmarks, but in future maybe we will find solution for that 🙂
Thanks for the tip I got this .bat to work between Chrome & EdgeBeta with the following path tweaks (as at Jan20 anyway):
xcopy "C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks" "C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Beta\User Data\Default\Bookmarks" /Y

asecret900 What about extensions? The great thing would be to have Edge and Chrome syncing extensions besides the bookmarks. Any ideias on how this could be achieved?
Edge uses MS account, Chrome uses Google account...
@Raheel605's solution is only one way, from Chrome to Edge but if you're going to go that way, copy the Favicons file too.
Miguel Isidoro I keep a bookmark folder with links to the extension pages. But then I also use a slightly different set of extensions for each browser.
Or configure a tool like https://freefilesync.org/ to sync the bookmark folders two-way once in a while.I am now trying the EverSync extension, so far so good between chrome and edge.
