Yeah, that's what I thought the first time, but then it happened two or three times in a row. It could have been on different machines, and I just failed to take note of it, but I thought I was on the same machine at least two or three of the times it asked me to log back in.
Did you try turning it on and off again?
Edge uses the same engine that Chrome does. Where it differs would be syncing browsing tabs etc between devices. All depends on what you use the most, google tech or microsoft tech.
Multiple reboots, but no changes in settings precede this. A Windows Update did precede this change, which likely included an Edge update, but I haven't bothered to dig that far. This is not a personal machine, it's mostly dedicated to simulation software, so I try to keep it lean... hence no Chrome install. I only use Edge on it because I sometimes get bored of watching simulation progress, and check in here at hearth.

Engineers do know best, but having the opportunity to throw switches without obtaining prior customer approval is a privilege only a few get to enjoy. In my work, I've found the best way to bring a customer around to thinking my way is to offer them a "no warranty" option on doing it their way.
That definitely is not true, especially for MS engineers. There is a 'trust us, we know better' attitude that strongly biases their perspective. I was testing software compatibility in Windows Vista in their labs before it came out and told their engs it was terrible and would not go over well. They brought in the lead designer and I repeated the same, while demonstrating it's many flaws. Still, they released it, warts and all. There are many examples of this. Want to have a bouncing paperclip tell you? I'm sure their AI wizard will be out there doing this soon.
