Chrome/Edge are RAM hungry which is their biggest flaw compared to Firefox (and variations) which use quite a bit less RAM when you have many tabs open and leave your browser running for days/weeks at a time like i do.
even RAM aside, i think Firefox (in my case Pale Moon x64) is the overall smoothest running browser with extensions. but for those who don't have many tabs open and open and close your browser regularly and pretty much use your browser in a stock state then Chrome/Edge ain't bad.
people with low RAM systems (i.e. 4GB or less) would likely benefit from using Firefox over Chrome etc. i got 8GB of RAM on my system which i would say anyone with 8GB+ of RAM should be good for the foreseeable future in terms of general system performance as i had that nearly 5 years now and it won't be insufficient for many more years simply because programs would really have to get RAM hungry for that to become any real negative in terms of general system performance with basic programs people use on a regular basis.
p.s. i am not surprised to see Chrome winning the poll as that's the dominate browser in market share right now (i.e. at least 42% of the browser market as of March 2017) which means it's the most widely used.
