? Hehe :)

Ccleaner does have a browser of its own (called "Ccleaner Browser") that 
competes with Edge. So I doubt it would help, in any way, to bring Edge 
up. But if it is the Edge that's made to be triggered by Ccleaner to 
come to life, then all the more reason that Edge is designed to be abusive.

What would be the purpose for a browser to run in the background? With 
no task bar button showing, with no sign on the screen of being active 
whatsoever, no "outside temperature" gadget, no news tickers, nothing 
for which a browser would be needed?

I'd say it is to communicate what you're doing to some sort of 
interested client.
