o Have you experienced the same thing recently?

Yes, it indeed is.

Edge chromium will replace the original edge, which is good for web
browsing and compability with youtube and google services. The old edge
still the best for pdf reader though.

Thanks for that confirmation...
o The good news, I think, is that you have a choice.

If you run the Edge up{grade,date} from Windows settings...
o You get no choice; the new Edge replaces the old Edge (apparently).

If you download & install the new Edge manually...
o You apparently get a _second_ Edge (although I'd have to re-test that).

Note: I'm not quite sure of the above because I wasn't paying attention
all that much when I did it manually a few weeks ago, and when I let
Windows do it two days ago.
