ChromEdge has had impersonation added to it.
It can impersonate Classic MSEdge or it can impersonate IE11.

edge://flags/#edge-internet-explorer-integration must be set to 'IE Mode'.

It's possible the EXE has been replaced with some call to ChromEdge
instead. This is some kind of Enterprise feature, and everyone
else gets it too. I guess so "banking sites" can function as
guinea pigs for the authenticity of it.
