Microsoft claimed that Edge was 112% faster than Chrome when it first came out. It’s hard to pin down how accurate this exact stat is, but plenty of users around the web have run their own tests and come to the same conclusion: Edge is faster than Chrome.
For example, Avast tested many browsers and found Edge to run faster than Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Vivaldi.
Chrome also has a reputation for heavy resource consumption.
Tom’s Guide ran a test on this and found that Chrome used more RAM on various tests. For example, with 60 tabs open, Chrome used 3.7 GB, while Edge only used 2.9.
