Are they exactly the same, or do you have to be on Windows for the full feature set?

The only Windows-only/Windows-specific features that I'm aware of are "Group Policy Configuration" and "IE Mode" and both of those are limited to Domain-joined machines and targeted only at Enterprise users (and specifically, if you are feeling nasty about it, only at making Enterprise users' experiences worse).
I prefer Firefox these days, but my work won't let me install Firefox right now so I'm using Edge on my work laptop as the best of the allowed options.
At home Edge is the only Chromium browser I keep installed as I've always disliked Chrome itself but now there's far too many websites taking a "Works Only in Chrome" approach. (My company's vendors doing the same the likeliest reason installing Firefox got forbidden. Sigh. I remember that era of IE6 when everyone was still mostly happy with IE6 and "Works Only in IE6" was fine and not a threat and continue to worry about the current "Chromium Hegemony".)
Ironically, I was big fan of Spartan-Renderer Edge (from Windows 8 and the first few years of Windows 10) and Chromium-Based Edge just still feels so much like a sad shell of What Once Was. Though I do appreciate native vertical tabs now, at least. I guess that's one good thing to come out of killing a good alternative renderer.
