Microsoft Edge Getting History, Tab Sync Features a Year After Launch: Report

Microsoft Edge is finally getting the essential history and tab sync features

Microsoft Edge has started getting history and tab sync features, as per a report. This will let users see full Web history and sync tabs in their browsers. The first stable version of Microsoft's Chromium-based Microsoft Edge Web browser was released in January 2020 and it is finally getting the new essential features. According to the report, these features are rolling out gradually, with United Kingdom being one of the first markets to receive them.

As per a report by The Verge, not all countries have access to the history and tab sync features on Microsoft Edge as of now. While the UK is one of the first regions to receive the new features, other regions will likely get them soon as well.

The history and tab features will let Microsoft Edge users sync all the Web pages that they have visited to, on every device where they are signed into Edge, including Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android.
