Just use Edge on sites that don’t support Firefox, if you must use them. Same as how we used IE for government sites back in the day.

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

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.
