NEW Feature: Favorite/Bookmark Duplicates Removal option Added
Another new feature in Edge Canary Version 81.0.411.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit), Favorites/Bookmarks Duplicate removal option if you click/touch the Favorites button on toolbar ...
HotCakeX This is a great idea but isn't really usable with large numbers of bookmarks. I have hundreds, so seeing "20 duplicates were removed" without knowing which ones, or in which folder, prevents me from knowing what I'm agreeing to delete.
This, compounded with the bug where the "Edit Favorite" window closes and creates a favorite in whatever folder you had selected when that window closed makes the remove duplicate feature even trickier.
I agree with you completely.
also, I think the sync engine for favorites should be reliable enough not to even need a duplicate removal feature built into browser. I've never seen any other browser have such tool in it.
the single fact that Edge has a duplicate removal too suggests that at some point a user will encounter a situation where their favorites will get messed up, it can either be old favorites coming back, favorites getting duplicated, favorites getting deleted or not even synced at all.
these happened to me before and I really hope these problems get highest priority for the Edge team to fix it asap before going forward introducing more features
