IMO pushing non security items to EOL'd versions is a moral breach of contract, if I was still running 7 I'd turn Windows Update off and use a 3rd party AV or none.

If it was the EdgeHTML based version - the one the handled epubs rather nicely - It might be worth having Edge on Win 7, otherwise why would anyone want the Chromium Edge, might as well have Chrome.
I agree to finding it rather shocking that MS is pushing Edge to Windows 7. Though it might be argued that as a replacement for IE 11, it is a security update.

On the other hand, I disagree that Chromium Edge is the same as Chrome. If nothing else, quite a few of our SaaS apps at work are much happier with Edge than Chrome these days. Google seems to have forgotten that Chrome is a web browser first and an ad delivery mechanism second. I used to use Firefox as my default browser followed by Chrome and then the old Edge. Now it's Firefox, Edge Chromium and Chrome as a final resort. Firefox gets the nod for me since it is the only one that securely stores saved passwords.
