A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That's Chromium!
I honestly do suspect the fact that they're both Chromium based is part of why this is possible.
I can't imagine it be too difficult to extract the open URLs, end chrome and launch Edge with the appropriate arguments.
But if it carried over cookies too, that's when I would see the chromium common-ground help out.
Heavily doubt it. Google wants people using Chrome, not anything else Chromium-based. Otherwise they'd also have no issue with Brave, Vivaldi, Opera (GX) etc.
It's like cars, VW, BMW, Renault, Peugeot etc will all compete even though they all (mostly) use I4 engines.
I don't see what any of this has to do with chromium. It's Microsoft importing data from your other browsers.
