@Deleted , The more data we can sync between devices and browsers, It would make the experience much better.
1.) sync extension data: Google chrome can sync data of extensions pretty well, and that's a lot of good feature to have on board.
2.) Sync extension keyboard shortcuts: edge://extensions/shortcuts
3.) Sync custom addresses for address bar: edge://settings/searchEngines
It's really exhaustive to set keyboard shortcuts again on different devices because of lack of sync & Anyone would miss custom address bar search engines immediately when using different devices.

@hussain5416 Thanks for reaching out.
1) We announced this on our What's New page a few weeks ago, so extensions should be syncing. But if you aren't seeing that working successfully, then can you please check the settings on the individual extensions, then submit detailed feedback + diagnostic data through the browser?
2) & 3) Good suggestions! To confirm, what kind of devices are you looking for these to sync across? (Ex., desktop to mobile, desktop to desktop, etc.)
And if you can submit that through the browser too, that would be great. In the meantime, I will also try to check-in with the product team.

2.) & 3.) Since Extensions & Custom addresses aren't available on android yet, They should meant for sync between desktop to desktop.
BUT since I'm (and so many others) asking for extension support on android platform from a long time, It would be highly appreciated if the sync was available between Desktop to Mobile & Desktop to Desktop.
Everyone loves seamless workflow, and This extension support (on Android) & complete sync of all/most of the items among all the devices could become a keypoint for people to choose Edge over Chrome.
Also, there are so many related threads on this forum too.
