The bookmarks disappeared after I said I didnt want it to import anything.

Obviously it still went looking before asking!, said Redditor orcusmorcus while describing the problem.

I was immediately annoyed at how invasive this is.

Im a software developer so Im sensitive to these sorts of UI tricks,another Reddit user krankie pointed.

During the first run experience, the customer is presented the opportunity to keep or discard the imported data.

This data is discarded if they choose not to proceed with the import.

If a customer terminates the new Microsoft Edge surfing app prematurely during the first run experience (e.g.

using Task Manager), residual data may not be fully deleted.

We recommend customers not shut down the setup process prematurely to ensure an expected result.

Like other browsers, Microsoft Edge offers people the opportunity to import data during setup.
