Looks familiar. I shall go forthwith and kvetch. I hate using Chromium Edge without my damn extensions. It just messes with my Tao.
If you are using Microsoft's Chromium based build of Edge, I believe it ought to run your preferred Chrome extensions. It's based on the underlying Blink rendering engine and V8 JavaScript engine.

Even before MS pivoted on Edge development and dropped the in house Spartan rendering engine they developed to replace their previous Trident engine, replacing it with Chromium, browser development was increasingly toward a common framework for extensions. Extensions would be pure JavaScript, built on a common API, so it would be possible for developers to create extensions that could be installed in any current browser with minor code changes. (As an example, the extraordinarily popular uBlock Origin blocker add on for Firefox was also available for Chrome and original Edge.

Go the the Chrome store and see if stuff will install in Chromium Edge. I don't expect a fix for your Chrome problems to happen right away, and Chromium based Edge might be what you can use till you get a fix for whatever is giving Chrome indigestion.
