Microsoft Edge and the Weirdness with Google Chrome

Maybe I'm encouraging 'the weirdness'---every morning, I open BOTH the Microsoft Edge browser AND the Google Chrome browser.
I open Edge because I participate in a Microsoft program-or-two (Microsoft Rewards, Bing Weather ... maybe others). That's one 'weirdness': even though I've set Google Chrome as my default browser, the Microsoft Rewards program WON'T OPEN GOOGLE CHROME (but Google Chrome can open it---i.e. I can open the MR page in GC, but the MR program on my desktop won't open GC).
And it gets weirder. In ME--if I click either the second or third square on my MR dashboard (shown in the upper image)--it gives me the message "Request Header Fields Too Large" (as shown in the lower image); but in GC, those two links open with no problem!
I'm using ME to write this right now, and that's ... that's a separate weirdness. Right now I want to know why the RHFTL on ME and not on GC?
WT-?

I am struggling since getting a new computer. I never used Edge before. I prefer Firefox. I had no problem using Firefox and Chrome, but Edge gives me fits. And "they" say it is supposed to be the optimum browser for all your needs. I commiserate with you. Some of my former programs do not work well at all in Edge.

Maybe your computer is infected with viruses?
How about being infected by malware or spyware?
What is your anti virus?

I don't know ... I run cCleaner to get rid of most of the old files I don't need, and it tells me I've got 'suspicious files' on my machine (but won't tell me what they are unless I 'buy an upgrade' 
)
