Edge Beta for Android now supports data sync with Chromium-based Edge: here are the steps to get it done

The arrival of the new Chromium-based Edge is raising a wave of good reviews Microsoft needed a browser that could replace the old Internet Explorer with guarantees, a goal that, over time, we have seen they did not know or could achieve with Edge.

The new version with Chromium support is much more open and benefits from existing improvements in a mature market that incidentally attract more users. We have already seen how to test the desktop version of Edge, but the arrival of this also affects Edge for iOS and Android.

And is that the beta version of Edge for Android already allows users to synchronize all browsing data. What a novelty, some may think. But be careful, because the news is that now allows the user to choose.

"

Version 42.0.2.3367 that you can download from the Google Play Store already offers the option to choose the source of the data that we are going to synchronizeWe can choose the traditional Edge or if we prefer the new Chromium-based Edge from one of the Insider channels."

How to sync with the new Edge

If in your case, you want to try to synchronize data with the new Chromium-based Edge because you are already using it on PC and convinces you, these are the steps you have to follow.

You download the beta version from this Google Play link to your Android device and once installed you register with your associated Microsoft account.

"

Once inside, in the lower left area you must click on the three points of the Settings Menu and in the new window we go down toSettings and we _click_ on the link of our account."

"

There we will see in a section, Synchronization Configuration, which offers us two options. Choose between the traditional Edge or if we prefer it for the new Chromium-based Edge. The only observation is that this process only allows synchronizing favorites for now. In order to synchronize passwords, open tabs, autofill options... we must either wait or opt for the classic version of Edge."
