@kaidenshi all browsers expose your saved passwords in memory. Any obfuscation the browser can undo without input can undone fairly easily.
If it makes you feel any better by the time someone gets that memory access, your system is always thoroughly pwned.

@KF0UNK the difference is that other browsers only expose the one password you request at that moment and only for as long as it takes for you to log in to the service you need it for. Edge decrypts and stores all your passwords in plaintext in memory as soon as it launches and keeps them there until you close the browser. It’s a night and day difference.
