A bit earlier, Microsoft has enabled the open tab and browsing history sync options to a small select group of Insiders. But today, with release of Edge Canary 88.0.962.0, more insiders can give it a try and check the extended sync options in action.
Microsoft Edge is now a Chromium-based browser with a number of exclusive features like Read Aloud and services tied to Microsoft instead of Google. The browser has already received a few updates, with support for ARM64 devices in Edge Stable 80. Also, Microsoft Edge is still supporting a number of aging Windows versions, including Windows 7, which has recently reached its end of support.

Edge allows syncing users' preferences and data, including favorites, settings, extensions, addresses, and more. There are options in the browser's settings that allow you to enable or disable individual items in sync. Till now, the options to sync 'Tabs' and 'History' were available to a small number of Edge Canary insiders, and noted as 'Coming soon' for the majority of the users. This has changed. This means that you can easily pick up where you left off by closing Edge on one of your computers and opening it on the other.
The ability to sync browser tabs and history between instances of Edge is one of the most anticipated features of the modern Microsoft browser. It's great that it's finally available.
Microsoft is actively working on improving the sync options in Edge. Recently, the company made it possible to reset Sync and delete the uploaded data from its servers. Check out
