If you have multiple browser sessions to bring into Microsoft Edge, the new session will replace the existing one. Importing one session will not affect or merge with previous ones; each import creates a separate instance. So, your current Edge session won’t be overwritten by another import.

It doesn't seem to bring in duplicate items but it moves the rest into your favorites.
I just tested it on Edge and imported FF & Chrome details; from what I understand, everything worked fine.

I can only see questions about this feature, not the feature itself.
Have you posted on Reddit a few weeks ago?
What do you mean by sessions? Is it tracking your daily usage?
Of course, you can import data into browsers like bookmarks, and those won't replace what's always been there.

My mistake. By sessions I mean bookmarks. Will Brave and Firefox bookmarks replace my current Edge bookmarks or be added alongside them? You're asking if I should import my Brave bookmarks first into Edge, then a separate HTML file with my Firefox bookmarks, ensuring no existing bookmarks are lost during the process? That sounds correct.
