WBrady1965 - The new version of Edge will have a large set of Group Policy options which largely mirrors those in Chromium with several additions and removals based on Edge's feature set.
Having said that, like Chromium, the new Edge does not have "Zones" per-se and as a consequence most policies apply to all sites. It would be helpful to understand what aspects of Zones you were using previously, and whether the equivalent features in Chromium policy (e.g. site lists) are usable as an alternative.
I don't have a specific feature per se but I work in a highly regulated industry, particularly in regard to electronic data record keeping so I wanted to see how granular we can get when setting policies. I really like the zone structure in IE and how finely we can tune settings.

There are several settings we have which are different. Scripting controls were mentioned above, but copy/paste from the clipboard, access data sources / navigate windows and frames across domains, scripted windows, blocking downloading of any ActiveX controls, etc.
It really allows us to keep a tight control over regular internet sites while enabling vendor sites, which often use outdated and poor coding/security methods, to work.
Thanks!

The biggest reason I use zones is to relax my restriction on scripting for sites that are business critical and we will allow those sites more control over random Internet sites.
