Why not use chromium or a hardened version of it? Edge is proprietary software.

Edge is chromium.......

Yes, but Edge comes with a lot more proprietary components added.

I would recommend installing ungoogled-chromium or using another hardened FOSS version of chromium instead.

Orrrrr

Stop using chromium based browsers.
