History syncing toggle shows up in Microsoft Edge Canary channel

History syncing is most ready to test in the new Chromium-based Microsoft Border. The characteristic started showing up, at least as a toggle, in the latest update to the Border Canary channel (via Richard Hay), though it isn't active nonetheless.

Attention #EdgeInsiders - updates are available for all three channels #EdgeCan (80.0.327.0), #EdgeDev (80.0.320.v), & #EdgeBeta (79.0.309.15). Also - check out what has shown upwards in Sync Settings on #EdgeCan #History #ComingSoon motion picture.twitter.com/O2tJuZf5Mr

In the browser's sync settings, you'll now find a "History" toggle listed alongside passwords, settings, open tabs, and collections. In one case the feature is live, you'll be able to keep your browsing history synced between Edge on other devices, making for a less fragmented experience.

That consistency between browser instances is part of Microsoft'south overall effort to make Edge a seamless feel between platforms. Because Border is or will be available beyond Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS (and in the future, Linux), Microsoft wants there to be as few barriers as possible to picking up where you left off on whatever given device. Using Chromium as a base of operations helps to ease that process somewhat, merely features similar collections are areas where Edge stands out across all platforms.

Microsoft is gearing up to launch the stable version of the new Edge on January xv for Windows and macOS. At launch, history syncing, extension syncing, and ARM64 support won't exist available in the stable version, as Neowin recently reported. Yet, that the kickoff signs of history syncing have popped upward in Canary could mean that it's not far behind.
