How to Sync Microsoft Edge Bookmarks with Other Devices

The new Microsoft Edge is getting popular, thanks to its base — Chromium — the open-source project behind a lot of web browsers including Google Chrome. Since it offers unique features and integration with Windows 10, you may be tempted to use the new Edge over Chrome or Firefox, or maybe use both.

If you plan to use two or three browsers on your system or across devices, the biggest pain point is bookmarks and login credentials getting distributed. You can sync login credentials using password managers, but what about bookmarks? Thankfully, there is a trick to sync bookmarks across browsers or devices.

Microsoft Edge Sync is an exemplary feature that lets you access your browsing data across all your signed-in devices. After you have signed in to Microsoft Edge and turned on Sync, you can browse the web on any device, pause or stop, and continue on a different device. Alright, let’s check how to sync bookmarks.
