REVIEW

Part of the new Microsoft Edge’s setup

process asks if you want to sync content, in

the same way Google asks you to sign in to

Chrome. This is optional, but encouraged

as well as any debit/credit cards or other payment

offsyncing.

Unfortunately, it appears that Edge isn’t quite ready

to save all your information from device to device.

Using the test ‘Canary’ build we downloaded, Edge

said that syncing your browser history, open tabs, and

extensions were ‘coming soon’. And although the

Edge browser for Android now uses the swirling Edge

logo of the desktop version, it doesn’t seem to ‘pick

up where you left off’ or sync the history of pages you

accessed on the mobile browser. That’s a feature that’s

undoubtedly in the works.
