Timeline!!

[Drew1903]

This thing MUST support Timeline without having to add an extension:exclamation_mark:  Geeesh :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Actually, "only" doesn't, really, matter... Both can be tested, as extensions can be individually turned on and off. Can have both even though using one or the other at any given moment

Thanks @Drew1903 for introducing the Timeline Support extension.  I installed it but unfortunately, it didn't work for me.

I reinstalled the Web Activities extension and it didn't work either.  My other extensions are working fine.

[Update: Jul 6]  It started working again.  My browsing history (Edge Chromium) started to show up in Timeline (Web Activities).

they already said it comes when they enable history sync. until then, use:

@Drew1903 Agree! We are close to public stable release and native Timeline integration is sadly not here still. :(

We should not rely on having extensions on something that is native Windows feature and when it already exist from Edge UWP.

Yes there are users who don't need it or dislike it, but there should be a simple switch to turn it off. But I think by default its worth to be enabled, since it can be really useful.

Task View (a.k.a Timeline) depends on History syncing.
there are 3 more sync options remaining to be implemented, History, Extension and Collections syncing.
there is still time until the stable version comes out

There is a distinction being missed, me thinks.  Edge works w/ Timeline and Edge is integrated w/ the OS.  Timeline is an OS thing not, a browser thing.  Edge C, currently is not integrated and is being tested 'outside' the OS, somewhat as if running as an app. This is why Timeline doesn't & won't work w/ Edge Insider Channels without being 'forced' via extensions to do something unnatural... it comes naturally to Edge because its the OS's browser, presently.  This will change and Timeline will continue to work w/ (the new) Edge at transition time & forward.

It won't come or exist innately or inherently for Insider Channels.

The definition of "SOON" can vary, but, it may be wrong to expect anything final until sometime in Q1 2020, maybe springtime is fair & reasonable.

Cheers,
Drew

20H1 is not releasing in the first quarter of 2020,

Edge doesn't need to be integrated into the OS. for Taskview (Timeline) to show Edge insider histories, Edge insider needs History syncing.
