Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft Edge had simply taken over where I’d left off in Chrome. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

For what it's worth, I've found that windows and mac forums have similar issues if you approach them as an outsider.

I feel similar frustration when faced with trying to accomplish things on those OSes. Mac forums in particular are terrible about "you shouldn't want to do that".

It doesn't solve your problem, just wanted to share that I've experienced it from the other side.
