How to Enable & Disable Sync for Extensions on Microsoft Edge Chromium

Microsoft Edge Chromium offers a convenient feature that allows you to synchronize all installed extensions across multiple devices where you're signed in with the same Microsoft account. This feature ensures that any extension you install, remove, or configure on one device will automatically be applied to all your other devices running Microsoft Edge. This is particularly useful if you use multiple devices and want a consistent browsing experience.

While the ability to sync extensions is typically enabled by default, there may be instances where you need to manually enable or disable this feature depending on your preferences.

Why Syncing Extensions is Useful
Consistency Across Devices: Keep your browsing experience uniform across all devices.
Time-Saving: No need to manually install and configure extensions on each device.

Backup: Your extensions are backed up and can be restored easily if you switch to a new device.

Additional Tips

Manage Extensions Individually: If you disable sync, remember that you will need to manually install and configure extensions on each device you use.

Sync Other Data: Microsoft Edge allows you to sync other data like bookmarks, history, and passwords. If you're interested in these features, you can manage them in the same Sync settings page.

By controlling the sync settings for your extensions, you can tailor your browsing experience to suit your needs, whether you want a consistent setup across all devices or prefer to manage each device individually.
