You can disable sync in Microsoft Edge through the settings menu, allowing you to control what data is shared across devices. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Open Microsoft Edge: Launch the Edge browser on your computer.
-
Access the Settings Menu: Click on the three horizontal dots (ellipsis) located in the upper-right corner of the browser window. This opens the Edge menu.
-
Go to Settings: From the dropdown menu, select "Settings." This will open the settings page in a new tab.
-
Navigate to "Profiles": In the left-hand sidebar of the Settings page, click on "Profiles".
-
Select "Sync": Under the "Profiles" section, find and click on the "Sync" option.
-
Turn Off Sync: You should see a toggle switch labeled "Sync". Click this switch to turn it off. This will disable the synchronization of your data across devices.
-
Confirm (If prompted): Edge might ask you to confirm your decision to turn off sync. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the process. This might involve signing out of your Microsoft account in Edge, or choosing to clear synced data from the device.
By following these steps, you will successfully disable sync in Microsoft Edge. This prevents your browsing data, passwords, settings, and other information from being shared across different devices where you are signed in with the same Microsoft account.
