<vent elided> But there does seems to be documentation:
If that's what you saw and it didn't address your question, sorry.
A quick scan makes this look like a corporate product that will be programmed by IT support staffers and rolled out to users who need the functionality. It does not look like the sort of thing most end users will want to wrestle with.

I shall sally forth and see if I can make Chromium Edge my...well, you know, slave. I do, truly, appreciate it.

If it assists you and saves you some trouble, I'm happy. It's why I participate in forums like this.
And on a different line, I noted BetterRed talking about different profiles. I've been doing that for ages in Firefox, which makes it easy. Want to generate a new profile? Run Firefox in Profile Manager mode, with
firefox -p. Profile Manager will let you create a new profile, give it a name, and
specify where it is kept.
I have a top level C:\Mozilla directory. Profiles live in C:\Mozilla]\Firefox\Profiles, with sub-directories with the name I gave the profile when I created it. I can
run Firefox using a specified profile with
firefox -p <profile name> For that matter, I can have more than one FF instance active at once, as long as each uses a different profile.
firefox -no-remote -p <profile name> does it.
I want the same bookmarks and history available in all created profiles, which is easy enough but requires hacking done at the OS level, outside of FF. (Technically, I have a master copy, and I symlink that into the profile directories I create, replacing the default places.sqlite file that Firefox uses to hold bookmarks/history. All FF profiles are using th4e
same FF bookmarks/history file. But SQLite does atomic commits, so stepping on each other's toes is unlikely even with more than one profile active. Only one will actually be updating the file at any time.)
The main differences between profiles are precisely what extensions are installed.
I haven't played with doing that in Chrome, but it sounds like a profile specifically for browsing and another for eBook creation activities might be a good idea.
