I hate Edge and Safari

I use Chrome and my search engine is Duck Duck Go.  I love them.

My problem is after I do a proper shutdown, when I log back in, the "ghost" edge has opened up a bunch of tabs.  Automatically save my restartable apps when I sign out and restart them when I sign in.  This is turned off. It was never turned on.

I feel like shut down is not doing its job or Edge has a mind of its own. Not cool either way,

And I loath Safari!!!  I cannot open certain stories and things on my iPhone. It wants to open them in Safari.
