Google Chrome's fear of Microsoft Edge is revealin...
The sad thing is when Google websites refuse to work on Edge Chromium. Switch your user agent to match Chrome's, you're all set.

Out of curiosity, which sites are these? Do they also similarly break with Firefox or other non-Chrome browsers or only MS Edge?

Non-Chromium derivatives are blocked as well, yes, but neo-Edge is a Chromium derivative.

Same with Firefox.

They shouldn't be blocking Firefox either, but let's be clear-- Chromium Edge makes even less sense given it's a "cousin" of Google Chrome.

I wonder why Microsoft isn't doing that, they could just use Chrome user agent for all Google websites.
