For obvious reasons, I never use Edge but that's good to know. 
I wonder how it does it when you don't have a MS account?

Yes. Ten, maybe twenty times a day. And it begs you to converse back, even
giving you pre-selected choices for YOUR responses. Gemini doesn't do that.

I looked it up a bit more and I don't;t think copilot can save sessions so
I think Copilot assumed I was logged in, when it's impossible to do so.
