Google had just updated Chrome for security reasons, as I wrote in the blog post Google Chrome 86.0.4240.198. The Edge 86.0.622.68 released on 11 November 2020 is based on the Google Chrome 86.0.4240.198.
The security update, rated High, closes the vulnerability CVE-2020-16016. No details about this vulnerability are currently disclosed. Strangely, this CVE number is also not mentioned by Google (see blog post Google Chrome 86.0.4240.198). The browser should update automatically.
