Edge is sharing Chrome site logins. How do I prevent this?

Hello,

I have a site where I have two accounts. I used to be able to have one of them logged in with Edge and one with Chrome, then by running the right browser, I could be logged in with the right profile.

Now, Edge seems to have started copying the login across from Chrome, i.e. I can't separate them. Logging in on Chrome logs in with the same credentials on Edge which isn't what I want.

How do I turn this off so that each browser can log in with different credentials and stay logged in with those credentials? I've found lots of stuff about syncing my MS account across devices, but this is on one single device and two browsers that I want to be completely unrelated.

Thanks.

    What is being reported here is NOT impossible, as it is very well happening starting the past month or two. I launch Edge and I log into an account on a given site while I am already logged into the same site on Chrome using a different account.

    Then I go to Chrome and I find that I got logged out of the account I was logged into on Chrome and instead, I am logged into the same account I logged into on Edge.

    What this means is that Microsoft is forcing its users to migrate away from Chrome. This will not bode well for Microsoft, it will only cause resentment among users.

    Yep, looks like it's a new setting in Edge. 'Imprt Frome chrome on Startup'.

    Possibly useful for some people but what a ridiculous approach to automatically enable it on update.

    Like many people I use different browsers for work/personal. This could really mess up some people getting signed in to everything as completely the wrong account.

    Bad bad Microsoft. Please fix it and apologise.
