Wie use https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/askie/2017/01/12/managing-favorites-for-edge-and-internet-explorer-in-windows-10-preview/ to (permanently) sync favorites between (old) Edge und IE. The favorites are redirected (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/dn789199(v%3Dws.11)) to a network share.

This would be a big advantage over Google's Chrome.
