How you can import favorites

It was January 15th when Microsoft released the new Chromium-based Edge. It came to replace the Edge that we had used up to now, based on Edge HMTL and the improvements, since its launch, have been constant, largely thanks to the presence of three development channels: Canary, Dev and Beta

Upgrading to the new Edge was and is very easy, although there are aspects to take into account. One of them is that we are going to replace the previous version with the new one and therefore, we will lose the data that we had stored. Something they have fixed with the latest version that can be downloaded on the Canal Canary.

To avoid losing information

"

The new Edge in its most advanced development version includes an option that allows us to import data from Legacy Edge (the classic Edge) to the new Chromium-based Edge browser. An improvement that comes with Edge Canary in version 83.0.473.0 and that requires the use of the classic flags. function"

"

To enable this option type Edge://flags (without quotes) in the address bar and search for the option Import data from Microsoft Edge Legacy in the list that is displayed. The best thing, to save us work, is to use the search engine in the upper zone."

"

We enable Import data from Microsoft Edge Legacy placing the marker on Enabledand restart the browser."

"

Once we have taken these steps we go back to Edge to the route Settings and within it to Profiles, where we will have to mark Import browser data."

"

In this section we select Microsoft Edge Legacy and we choose the elements that we want to import, clicking on Import to bring them into Chromium-based Edge."

We can choose between bookmarks, saved passwords, search engine, addresses, payment information, browsing history, cookies, home page home, settings, open tabs and extensions. A function that hopefully will not take too long to reach other versions of Edge.
