PowerShell: Auto Login to a website using MS Edge instead of IE throws errors

Courtesy of this post, the following code auto-logs into a URL using MS IE and works great. The first two lines are the most important here. See below for what happens when I change them. I want to make it clear That I am not a professional web developer. I am only a system administrator forced to hack my way along when it comes to coding.

Working code when PowerShell calls IE:

$ie = New-Object -ComObject 'internetExplorer.Application'
$ie.Visible= $true # Make it visible
$username="myname"
$RSAPIN="mypin"
$password="mypassword"
$ie.Navigate("https://www.tibia.com/mmorpg/free-multiplayer-online-role-playing-game.php")

While ($ie.Busy -eq $true) {Start-Sleep -Seconds 3;}

$usernamefield = $ie.document.getElementByID('username')
$usernamefield.value = "$username"

$RSAPINfield = $ie.document.getElementByID('password_input')
$RSAPINfield.value = "$RSAPIN"

$passwordfield = $ie.document.getElementByID('secondary_password_input')
$passwordfield.value = "$password"

Non-working code is shown below; If I change the code to call MS Edge instead, I get a raft of errors and I think it's because PowerShell New-Object doesn't support MS Edge?

$msedge = New-Object -ComObject 'internetExplorer.Application'
$msedge.Visible= $true # Make it visible
$username="myname"
$RSAPIN="mypin"
$password="mypassword"
$msedge.Navigate("https://www.tibia.com/mmorpg/free-multiplayer-online-role-playing-game.php")

While ($ie.Busy -eq $true) {Start-Sleep -Seconds 3;}

$usernamefield = $msedge.document.getElementByID('username')
$usernamefield.value = "$username"

$RSAPINfield = $msedge.document.getElementByID('password_input')
$RSAPINfield.value = "$RSAPIN"

$passwordfield = $msedge.document.getElementByID('secondary_password_input')
$passwordfield.value = "$password"

Errors seen when calling MS Edge instead of IE:

I am at a loss here. According to this post, PowerShell New-Object only supports IE's COM Automation.
