Microsoft Edge is very similar to Google Chrome. Once you import browser data from Chrome to Edge, it can sync across the various devices on which you use the Edge browser with the same Microsoft account.
If you use the Edge for Android or iPhone, the Microsoft account will automatically sync the Chrome data into the smartphone browser.
