Microsoft continues to update the distribution channels of Edge in its version based on Chromium and this time the improvements reach the version available for macOS, which with the latest update released in the Dev channel already allowsimport content stored in Safari, Apple's native web browser.

If you want to start testing Edge on Mac and it was holding you back from having all the data you had in Safari, now Edge makes it easy to import itA set of data including favorites, history, passwords... the only requirement is to have a version of Mac OS Mojave 10.14.4.

Steps to follow

The steps to follow to import browser data are very simple and easy to carry out.

"

First of all we access the tool System Preferences that we can find in the dock or in Mac applications. "

"

Once inside we must grant Edge full disk access permissions from the tool Security and privacy. To do this, inside Security and privacy, select Privacy and then Full disk access. "

"

Now it is about adding Edge to applications with the symbol +>unlock the protection if we have it closed (the padlock in the lower left).This is because Apple introduced new security features that prevent apps from accessing data from system apps like Safari."

"

From that point we have unlocked the system and we can click on the button Add. We then go to Applications> and then select the application icon."

We should now see Microsoft Edge in the list of applications that have full disk access so we can import your data from then on from Safari.

"

To do this we open Microsoft Edge, select Preferences by clicking on Profilesand select Import browser data>"

Once you're done it's interesting, for security and privacy, remove Microsoft Edge from the list of applications with full disk access , a process that forces us to repeat the steps of the first point but in reverse.
