Syncing tabs / Sending tabs to another device
- Oct 11, 2019
A supplementary answer to your question, you can use the Share function in the Edge insider browser And the Your Phone app on your mobile phone to send tabs and links to your devices.
This way is different from browser syncing and can be used right now
These instructions are from Edge insider Version 79.0.301.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
Let me know how it goes,
here is the official help regarding the Your Phone app

HotCakeX Open tab sync is now available in Edge Stable but if you don't want to sync all open tabs but only want to send a tab from Win 10 device 1 to Win 10 device 2, it still won't work. You're just able to send an open tab/page to my smartphone.
i think i replied to you on the other thread ^^
so when you open the history flyout or sidebar by clicking on its icon on Edge toolbar, there is a section called "Tabs from other devices"
in there you should be able to see tabs from other devices that are open, and open them on another device.

I know that feature and it's really pretty cool but imagine the following use case:
You've found an interesting page on your mobile phone but it's easier to read on the desktop and want to send it to the desktop and close the tab on the mobile phone. In this case you don't want to grab a tab that is open on the mobile phone (because it's no longer open) but you want to go ahead on the desktop with the tab you have received from the mobile phone. Got it? 😉
Have a look at Firefox, here you can send a tab to another device without need to leave it open.- HotCakeXJan 31, 2021MVPpress Alt + shift + i or click on the feedback button on Edge to send this suggestion to the devs
