Request: "Offline" Keep Favorite in Sync IE11 <-> Edge (Chromium)
The 'Legacy' MS Edge had a Group Policy that allowed an "offline" browser favorite Sync on a local system between IE and Edge:
Windows Components/Microsoft Edge
"Keep favorites in sync between Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge"
For Enterprises that aren't leveraging O365 and account Sync (or for whatever reason can't) this would make for a smooth sailing scenario. Any possibility for implementation?

Project & Community Manager - Microsoft EdgeThere is a lengthy discussion about this over at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/keep-favorites-synced-between-internet-explorer-and-edge-not/m-p/1120727 already.
I've also opened a Call with Microsoft about this.
They are working on "something" and looking into possibly supporting a Google Chrome GPO that allows relocating parts of the browser profile (bookmarks, form data, ...) to e.g. a network location.
We are all waiting for something like this to be implemented.
