Microsoft’s browser gets a cross-device synchronization function. Edge users can then transfer their open tabs and history.

Edge is the best browser for shopping for the holidays, says Microsoft.

The Edge browser can in future also display open tabs and history on other devices, this applies to PCs, Macs as well as Android and iOS. The synchronization only works if you are logged into the same account on the respective devices.

Company accounts already had this function in a beta version, now it is made available to all users. As usual with Microsoft, this happens gradually. So you can’t say who will get it and when. In the settings you will find, as soon as available, the option for the synchronization of the history and the tabs. It must be activated on all devices.

Microsoft had already announced that the synchronization is coming. However, some time has passed since then. The tab selection with vertical display and subject fields also took a while to actually appear.
