What you are referring to is called a threat model. Everyone’s threat model is different. Edge is still significantly better than using Chrome or Opera in my opinion, especially on Windows because Microsoft already has your data at the OS level so using a different browser does not make a huge difference anyways , unless you use very hardened Firefox with fingerprinting resistance and a whole bunch of other settings which just improves your browsing privacy but Microsoft will still have your data.
In my opinion, for the average threat model, Edge with the strict privacy setting, telemetry turned off, and Ublock origin installed is more than adequate.
