How to Manage Browsing Data in Microsoft Edge
You manage your Microsoft Edge browsing data by controlling whether Windows uses your history, favorites, and open tabs to personalize your PC experience.
Microsoft Edge, your default Windows browser, shares specific browsing data like history, favorites, and open tabs with other Windows features when enabled. This feature aims to make your PC more intuitive by improving search results and AI suggestions within Windows itself.
For instance, enabling this option allows Windows to suggest relevant websites or information based on your recent online activity, potentially speeding up your searches. You can find this setting under Settings > Profiles > Share browsing data with other Windows features.
Manage browsing data by opening Edge, clicking the three dots, selecting Settings, then Profiles, and choosing “Share browsing data with other Windows features” to toggle the switch. This setting controls whether Windows uses your Edge history, favorites, and open tabs.
