You can use custom IT policies to turn Microsoft Edge into a decent Chrome alternative.

      Chromium builds don’t have built-in automatic updates, and they’re missing DRM and some other proprietary components that are important. I’ve seen some community-maintained builds with varying update methods, but they don’t seem as well-supported as relying on Google/Microsoft/Vivaldi/whatever.

        Sure, but it’s not hard to install widevine in Chromium and it’ll be auto updated through whatever package manager you use to install it.
