Edge Proxy
There is no proxy option in edge. Click proxy settings to jump directly to PC system settings. So I don't think it's useful to set up a GPO for edge Is there any other way to set proxy in edge ...

Edge, just like Chrome and other Chromium based browser, uses system proxy.
so there is proxy settings, it's just in Windows.

So is it invalid to set edge proxy through GPO?

The only policy for Edge browser that I see that's not depreciated is this:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#proxysettings
p.s I suggested this before
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/add-socks5-authentication-support-to-edge-insider-browser/m-p/908994
to have a separate proxy setting only for Edge, like Firefox. It didn't get much attention, but if you like it, it will help if you send request as feedback from Edge browser- icey_wuNov 27, 2020Copper Contributor
Therefore, the edge group policy proxy settings in the figure below are actually used for the entire operating system, right?

all of them are depreciated and shouldn't be used, except for 1. you can see in the picture
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#proxysettings
in ProxySettings there is a part where it explains how to override system proxy settings with command line

System network settings
The Microsoft Edge network stack uses the system network settings by default. These settings include proxy settings, and certificate and private key stores.
There are scenarios where users request an alternative to using the system's default proxy settings. To support these scenarios, Microsoft Edge supports command-line options that you can use to configure custom proxy settings.
