How to stop Microsoft Edge opening all the open tabs from Chrome when you launch the browser.
Issue Description
The scenario is, you are working in Google Chrome with multiple browsers open and decide to launch Microsoft Edge. When Edge launches, it opens with the identical open tabs that you have running over in Chrome.
This can be quite annoying because usually the reason for launching a new browser is to keep the tabs running on the other one while launching a fresh browser to perhaps view something in a logged out perspective.
Instructions
