I’m running into a very specific and frustrating issue with Microsoft Edge where I am constantly being signed out of my Google account.

The Issue: Every 1–5 hours, my google.com cookies are deleted. It seems completely random, it doesn't happen when I restart the browser or the PC. I cannot recreate the behaviour.

The Weird Part:

• Only google.com is affected. All other sites stay logged in.
• YouTube is fine. Even though it’s a Google service, my youtube.com cookies stay intact and I remain logged in there.
• It is not triggered by closing the browser.

What I’ve already tried:

• Checked "Privacy, search, and services" -> "Choose what to clear every time you close the browser" (Everything is toggled OFF).
• Checked "Cookies and site permissions" -> "Manage and delete cookies and site data" (Google is NOT on the "Clear on exit" list).
• Manually cleared all browsing data/history (all boxes checked) to try for a "fresh start."
• Verified that "Allow sites to save and read cookie data" is ON.

My Setup:

• Browser: Microsoft Edge (Latest version)
• Extensions: Blank New Tab, Proton Pass, and Wappalyzer.
• 3rd party cookies are disabled.

Has anyone else experienced this?
