Post Body

My favorites bar has nicely organized favorite links organized into folders and randomly they blink out of existence and I am left to try and reimport them from Chrome. I've been trying to fully switch over from Chrome and this has been insanely annoying.

After searching around for help, I discovered this has been an issue talked about for a few years.

Evidence:

(2) Microsoft Edge Update lost all my browser saved logins / passwords : MicrosoftEdge (reddit.com)

(2) Favorites lost in Edge : Windows10 (reddit.com)

(2) Updated to the chromium based edge but lost a bunch of favorites that I had on the old edge : MicrosoftEdge (reddit.com)

(2) Edge keeps deleting my bookmarks : edge (reddit.com)

(2) Microsoft Edge disappearing bookmarks : xboxinsiders (reddit.com)

(2) Lost all my bookmarks! : edge (reddit.com)

(2) Favorite bookmarks keep disappearing : edge (reddit.com)

(2) Bah, all my bookmarks disappeared! : MicrosoftEdge (reddit.com)

(2) Edge favourites disappearing : Windows11 (reddit.com)

(2) Favorites are missing : MicrosoftEdge (reddit.com)

(2) Favorites disappeared! : MicrosoftEdge (reddit.com)

(2) All of my favourites have disappeared! : MicrosoftEdge (reddit.com)

(2) Edge removed all my favorites : MicrosoftEdge (reddit.com)

(2) Microsoft Edge deleted Favorites bar links, again : MicrosoftEdge (reddit.com)

Microsoft Edge update deleted "Favorites" - Microsoft Community

all my favorites lost on microsoft edge , please help to recover. - Microsoft Community

Microsoft Edge Favorites just disappeared! What happened? - Microsoft Community

The new version of edge has deleted all my favourites - Microsoft Community

This was just a small sample of the massive amount of similar reports I found taking place over a number of years now.

What's wrong MS Edge team?

Microsoft has over $364,000,000,000 billion dollars in assets and over 220,000 employees.

Why can't this bug be squashed?

I'd like to use MS Edge full time but this will push me back into Chrome.
