I'm trying to find a Group Policy Object (GPO) that will allow me to store bookmarks and browser profiles for Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome on a central drive. The goal is to have all browser profiles automatically transferred to a new computer whenever our employees log in. I've attempted using folder redirection for the AppData Roaming folder, which exports the data for Edge to my central drive, but it doesn't automatically transfer when I log in on a different computer. Additionally, Edge seems to slow down significantly due to this setup. Are there any better solutions or methods?

It might be worth considering standardizing on one browser, ideally Edge if your organization is Microsoft-focused, or Chrome for a Google setup. You could force an automatic sign-in so that browser data syncs with the user's account. Also, setting managed favorites for commonly needed sites is a good idea.
Automatic sign-in isn't feasible in our case. Do you have any other suggestions?
