I decided not to have online profile, synching in the Edge.

[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1035864, member: 78686"] Syncing is a must for me, but Edge's sync has some issues in my experience. I already knew and tested on my own PC, but this time tested on a different PC to be sure. I stayed at a relative's house for two days more than a week ago and logged into my Edge, Chrome and Firefox on their rarely used PC. Later I logged out, but on my PC and Android's Edge that device info is still shown. I see it right now in "Sent to you devices" option as well as in Device info in sync-internals logs. For Chrome and Firefox, the device info was immediately deleted after I logged out. Now the solution for Edge is to Reset sync, which in the past broke history syncing many times for me. So yeah, multi device syncing is for convenience, and it helps me in many cases. I don't like to use multiple browsers. I'm happy with the privacy that my adblocking DNS and adblocker provide. The only case where I use another browser is when I download malware/browser malicious site for testing, and I have portable Chrome and Firefox for that. Chrome is the best in syncing, followed by Firefox. I should add that Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, can not sync full history. They say they do, but outright lie to you. False marketing. Edge is almost the same as Chrome, but still has bugs. Firefox has one benefit that you can just copy your profile folder into another PC's Firefox profile, and you'll have all your settings, customization and cookies. You don't have to use Firefox sync for this. [/QUOTE]
