URL history via bookmarks sent to sync chain only after using search #37071

Open
@Uni-verse

Description

Description:

The url history loaded by opening synced bookmarks will begin to show up in the sync chain history only after using the omnibox.

Consider the following example:

Clean profile (1.43), sync chain connected

After connecting to sync chain, user loads some urls via synced bookmarks but has not yet used omnibox. The urls are not shown in sync chain history on connected devices. Below is screenshot of the history on the device, connected desktop history was empty.

0

Performing a search in the omni box will be sent to sync chain and any urls loaded after will show in sync chain. In this example weather was searched. After using the omnibox, the same urls were loaded from bookmarks: https://www.theverge.com and https://developer.android.com and are now displayed in sync chain across all devices.
