Don't download it. If it's to late to follow that advice, delete it.
Read the threads on the Forum regarding Web-browsers which are already secure such as LibreWolf or Ungoogled-Chromium and dissenter; or can be hardened such as firefox and iron. If the instructions for hardening can't be applied, why should any of us spend time with microsoft edge? Our time is valuable and limited. There are more interesting things to work on and more important applications to develop than just another web-browser.

I don't understand your situation. If you are in a public place with access to a wifi network made available to the public --such as dunkin donuts-- you can use your own computer, your own operating system on that computer and your own VPN and choice of web-browser. In that situation --for greater security so as to deter key-loggers-- you can install xvkbd, http://t-sato.in.coocan.jp/xvkbd/. AFAIK, a version is available for every Puppy via its Puppy Package Manager.
If, however, you only have access to a computer made available to the public --such as those a guest of a hotel can use in its 'business cafe' or lobby-- you don't have the right to do anything beyond using the computer, AS-IS. You can't install applications. The best thing you can do from a security standpoint is assume that everything you do on that computer will be available to anyone with greater access to that computer than yourself: Everything -- the communications you sent or received, the passwords you entered in whatever manner-- Everything.
(a) Don't use it.
(b) If you have to use it --such as when traveling-- prepare in advance. Set up a 'throw-away' email account --you'll never use it again-- without anything in its 'Contact' list beyond that which is absolutely necessary for that trip. Use protonmail or similar servers which don't insist on referral email addresses. If you have to use an email server which insists on a referral email address, set up a protonmail account or similar, to use as your referral email account.
