    Yes, correct.
    After i logged out the chrome session from my phone, my gmail on edge was logged out, so it definitely the edge browser im using was what gmail has detected, Logged it in back and its reflected as Chrome.
    So it could have been the enhanced safe browsing causing this?
    I did just turned it on couple of days ago. I'll try and disable it and see if there's any changes.

    How about if you click the link at top of screenshot "Don't recognize something" to try to flag this mistake?

    And it was signed out on my edge browser, so its certainly the Edge browser read as Chrome by gmail...

    I see. So you're viewing Google Account Security information on Edge?

    I see you enabled Enhanced Security on Chrome. I'd also flag the false Chrome listing using the arrow at the right end of each listing.

    In case this is a known issue with Chrome I'd ask in the Chrome forums too:
