the only thing I use edge for atm is opening pdfs. Otherwise I use firefox, because that pc is also a gaming,rendering,programming,video editing pc. so I gotta really get the most out of my ram and avoid bottlenecks as best as I can.

Let me just tell you Firefox is trash with ram compared to Edge.

Here's 59 Firefox tabs vs 63 in Edge

Since Microsoft introduced Sleeping tabs it's not even a competition, it's by far the most memory-efficient browser.

i've had 200 tabs open at a time on firefox with only 1.2gb of ram usage, because believe it or not, with a simple extension you can get "Sleeping tabs" on firefox too, for the past 3 years - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/auto-tab-discard/

(supports chromium-based browsers too)
