Which one is better, Microsoft Edge or Chrome

I use Edge on my Surface because Chrome guzzles battery like a drunk at an open bar. Just need that Redstone update so I can use an adblock and noscript extensions. Then I will switch to it on my laptop.

Firefox

Chrome and Edge are both multi-processed and sandboxed so they're both light years ahead of Firefox as far as actual usability (well, not having some badly written website crash your entire browser usability)/security goes. Chrome is the way to go if you like not being ass blasted by annoying popup and video ads or require some additional functionality not provided by the core browser. Yes, host files and external apps will work for browsers that don't support external plugins but I like the KISS approach of Adblock Plus. If you're really worried about spying, though, Firefox or Chromium (chrome minus proprietary/spying stuff) are the way to go.

It looks like they're working on it but they're going to have to rewrite huge chunks of the browser to accomplish it:

In current versions of desktop Firefox, the entire browser runs in a single operating system process. In particular, the JavaScript that runs the browser UI (also known as "chrome code") runs in the same process as the code in web pages (also known as "content" or "web content").

Future versions of Firefox will run the browser UI in a separate process from web content. In the first iteration of this architecture, all browser tabs will run in the same process and the browser UI will run in a different process. In future iterations, we expect to have more than one content process. The project that's delivering multiprocess Firefox is called Electrolysis, sometimes abbreviated to e10s.

For years Chrome has always been my go to as its historically been much more stable, had better compatibility, and more useful features than Internet Explorer. Now that Edge is out its significantly better than what Internet Explorer ever was. And at the same time Chrome has become more and more of a system hog. Chrome is not nearly as light weight as it used to be. I use both currently but am thinking more and more lately that I like Edge better.

Chrome is so much more resource intensive now than it was a few years ago.

Obviously chrome. There are lots of extension available in chrome. Also if you have an enterprise if you need to update lots of information in google drive then chrome helps you to connect all of your employee.
