Chrome syncing with Edge

Please Microsoft, stop syncing my chrome with Microsoft edge. I lost so much important data just now. And yes, I’ve already disabled it manually, but it keeps enabling itself. Countless times this has happened and I lost so much data. I keep 2 accounts separate on different web browsers but it seems like Microsoft just wants me to use edge, or to just get another browser.

    Why Edge keep syncing all data from Chrome even though all turn off - Microsoft Community

    Unfortunately, I am required to keep using Edge for work, BUT I was able to find a workaround:

    • Create a new profile in Chrome. I named mine "Edge." Don't use it or save any data to it.
    • In Edge settings, turn ON "Import browser data from Google Chrome on each launch"
      • Under preferences, change the "Import Profile" to the new one that you created in Chrome

    Since nothing is in that new profile, and assuming you never use it, nothing gets added to Edge. Tested over ~15 reboots and it seems to hold.
