Don’t like the online installer for the Edge Chromium browser? Here are links to download Edge Chromium Offline installer for any operating system.
The Edge Chromium browser is generally available for almost all major operating systems for past few months now. Like most browsers these days, when you download Edge Chromium from the Microsoft website, what you get is an online installer. When execute the downloaded installer, it will then download the files required to install the Edge Chromium browser.
Generally, this is not such a bad thing because you will always get the latest build and don’t have to worry if you are using the latest version. However, the online installer is not a good choice if you want to keep the software in your software repository, have not so good internet connection or install it on multiple computers.

If you have the Edge offline installer, you can simply copy the installer file to the target machine and proceed with the full installation. No need to download it again.
