I tried logging out on Edge, then closing and reopening the browser: I was already logged in. Then I tried logging out on Chrome too. Now when I reopened Edge, I finally got the login screen. But the Import browser data on each launch setting mentioned in the article does not appear in …

This told us about this:

Now I learned that Edge browser can import a Chrome profile, effectively EdgeDriver can start Edge browser while carrying over the cookies created by a previous Chrome session. Now I suppose Edge browser works just in the same way as my ChromeDriverFactory’s _TO\_GO_ mode. If so, **you do not need my ChromeDriverFactory**. You can use Chrome and Edge combined; you create a cookie in Chrome, you reuse the cookies in Edge. I haven’t checked if it is possible to do the same via EdgeDriver.
