Microsoft Edge allows you to use the synchronization function which is useful in the case that we use several computers with this browser.
To activate and use the synchronization option you will have to log in to your Microsoft account. In this way, in any Edge browser on any other device, you can have all your data and information always available and up-to-date.
When we use a Microsoft user account in Edge, all our browsing information is stored in our Microsoft account, such as: History, Passwords, etc.
This can be of great help for users who have several devices and want to have their information always available on all of them. For example, imagine that we have a work computer and other staff at home. If you want to always have the same information in the Edge browsers of both computers, you need to activate the Synchronization function.
Microsoft Edge Synchronization allows you to have all the history, add-ons, bookmarks, etc. on all Edge Web browsers where you sign in with the same Microsoft account. Basically what we will achieve is to have a clone of the Microsoft Edge browser wherever you log into your Microsoft account.
