If that's the case, then I recommend waiting for all the sync settings to come online before you give the new Edge a try.

I'm personally not too bothered, but I know not being able to sync history across devices might be a deal-breaker for some. Microsoft does say that these additional sync settings will light up eventually, but there's no ETA for this. This also means that the new Microsoft Edge doesn't support Windows 10's own Timeline feature. This means if you're attempting to switch to the new Edge on multiple devices, you won't be able to view cross-device history or tabs open on other devices. Syncing browser data across devices uses your Microsoft Account, but history and open tabs don't yet sync. Luckily, the new Microsoft Edge supports all the same extensions as Google Chrome, so you won't be without any of your favorite extensions. Users will have to manually download all their extensions again when moving to the new Edge.

One thing that doesn't port over from the old Microsoft Edge is extensions. Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central)
