Why does the connection disconnect when opening multiple Egos windows in the browser?

Egos uses device ID to identify devices. Each browser has a unique ID, so multiple windows will cause peer connection conflicts, leading to disconnected tasks and confusion. Therefore, it is recommended to open only one Egos window per device.
