I ditched chrome and switched to MS Edge (Not sure if many would have done that). Chrome would heat up my Mac a lot and slows eventually, it always shows up eating lots of power. MS Edge seems lighter so far. Main reason to choose MS Edge (and not firefox) was the outlook web. I don't use outlook client and I use outlook web. Outlook web is slow on chrome, I found it lighter on Edge. I also switched to Bing from Google and found not much difference in day to day searches. However if I need to search address/people/places I go to Google.
These points about edge vs. chrome seem questionable to me given that Microsoft just takes Google’s browser engine for edge . I guess they each do their own optimization, but it’s not like Google is inexperienced in this area.
