Microsoft Edge Browser - Force to Run in Sandbox?

I see support in the GUI for Firefox, Chrome, etc., but nothing for Microsoft Edge.  I'm running Windows 10 (1909) and would like to force Edge to run in its own sandbox whenever Windows automatically invokes it (as from the Windows Search box).  What's the best way to do this?

I want these Windows features (like search) to run correctly, but I also want to limit the damage that Edge can do to my system... -- jclarkw

    New Microsoft Edge (based on Chromium) works with Sandboxie (for me) like Chrome.

    Thanks for opening my eyes!  I upgraded, created a new sandbox for the new Edge (only default permissions for Google Chrome), and forced Edge to run in it.  It appears to open correctly either from the desktop shortcut or from Windows Web search, except that the first search I tried either way ("Microsoft Edge") produced the following three Sandboxie errors:


    SBIE2303 Could not hook CoGetObject (33, 1655)
    SBIE2303 Could not hook RegisterDragDrop (33, 1655)
    SBIE2318 DLL initialization failed for 'ole32.dll'

    Not sure what any of this means... Suggestions?

    FWIW ~  my Sandboxie Configuration includes:

    SbieCtrl_HideMessage=2303,ReleaseStgMedium (33, 1655)
