As you can see pages in Edge-Chromium-Canary use less memory than Google Chrome:
If you get Chrome Canary do a Canary vs Canary comparison. Be interesting to see how Chrome Canary vs Edge Canary play out in memory usage.

I found it curious how Edge-Chromium and Chrome handle pages when they open.
Look at the picture, it looks like Edge "reads" all pages when it opens, while Chrome "reads" only the pages "it deems necessary". And maybe that's why Chrome uses less memory when it reopens with multiple pages, but consumes a lot more memory when each TAB is clicked to reload its pages.Next week: Edge Canary versus Chrome Canary

here is how the built-in task manager of both browsers look like:
Edge insider Version 79.0.280.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
Google Chrome Canary Version 79.0.3920.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit)
Used the same tabs on each browser. ran each browser separately.
Spent the same amount of time on each browser (measuring from the time I launched the browser, opened the tabs and took the screenshot).
switched between each browser's tabs the same way in both browsers.
- Nice!
I wonder if both browsers had the same version (79) and each ran separately maybe the results would be different
