Sergey,
Microsoft removed PNACL support from Edge Chromium despite Google postponed transferring Google Apps to WebAssembly for years. See https://twitter.com/ericlaw/status/1120706947668426753
As an experienced tweaker, can you suggest how a user can add PNACL plugin to Edge Chromium. The downloaded EXE contains the required NACL.zip archive, or PNACL files can be copied from Chrome, but need registration in edge://components .
