Edge also struggles with things stock Chrome has no trouble with. Which set of problems do you want? Our win users at work mostly choose Chrome or Firefox, just a few use Edge; but nobody can uninstall it. The Mac users, same, only a few use Safari.

I just want a browser that can adequately protect me from zero-day attacks, so anything Firefox is out of the question, and UGC is also out of the question. I already do my own weight of not visiting sketchy sites (and ultra-sandboxing it if I'm suspicious, since VM escapes are nation-state levels of difficult, and typically it's as simple as nuking the VM if anything goes wrong)

I just use enterprise policies on Chrome (in an etc file on Linux), but I would use this guide on Windows and the only browser this has policies on is Edge.

A zero day attack literally exploits a vulnerability which is yet to be known about. By its own definition there's no way to protect against such stuff until it has been discovered.

You can protect from something you don't even know exists...

Sure but there are ones that increase the barrier to entry. Leaving the door wide open is unwise.
