How do I stop Edge from importing bookmarks and passwords from Chrome?

Once a day or so, Edge will import all my bookmarks and passwords from Chrome. I have already changed the setting here, edge://settings/profiles/importBrowsingData, to off, but Edge keeps importing anyway. How do I make it stop stealing data from Chrome?

    It didn't work for me. Edge still imports my favourites and browsing history. I am using a laptop with Win11. How do I stop from Edge importing data from chrome?

    Same problem here. It seems to have a mind of its own. Every time I open Edge, I have to delete any bookmarks it imported from Chrome. It's infuriating!

    I have the same problem; turned it off in the Edge settings, but it continues to import the Chrome bookmarks. Did anyone find a solution?

    It horrible that Microsoft Edge stealing from Chrome's tab & favorite without user's permission. No option to turn off. Very ugry policy.
