I too find Chrome are more responsive and fast. Currently still using both Firefox and Chrome. Some plugins does caused browser to consumed more memory, do take note.

FireFox is really slow. I preferably use Chrome for windows and for android too.

Nobody like Edge? I think it is quite good compared to the old IE. For me, it is actually comparable to Chrome & Firefox if you're not into add-ons.

Whether your priority is the faster performance, better security or more flexibility through downloadable extensions, the right web browser can make a huge difference to your daily browsing.
Here, we've put the biggest browsers through their paces to determine the app that best ticks all of these boxes (plus others that you might not be familiar with). And if you have a particular concern, then read on to see if there is an alternative that might fit your needs better.

I'd go with Chrome. Mozilla Firefox is a bit too slow for my liking.

For websites compatibility issues such like print a PDF statement from KWSP, Firefox > Chrome. I really can't find any different between Chrome and Firefox but I'm using both web browser frequently in the same time. Firefox makes me feel slower probably is just because their logo designing. Actually they have not much different for me. I am using Firefox as my default web browser for my personal gaming PC, there has not much reason to explain why I like to set Firefox as my default web browser because I've been using it more than 10 years. I am using Google Chrome in my office PC but I have to install an extra Firefox for my backup browser because sometimes when I print bank statement from PB Enterprise, google Chrome won't load the PDF file. It will became to download a webpage but not a PDF file. I have to use Firefox because it has better compatibility on such online banking, KWSP, myasnb PDF statement printing.

IE is fast because no one really use it anymore, if you dont install any addons, any browser will be fast at start up.

Chrome = Opera = Vivaldi = Edge, same shit, different user interface.
Firefox = Gecko.

in terms of ram usage (best to worse):
ie > edge > chrome > ff

Windows 7?
I tried IE a lot for fallback incase some website does not work, IE is the worst browser lol, most of the time it's just spinning circle, aka unresponsive.

IE currently is the only way to play youtube in h264, old GPU definitely need it because in other browser it play VP9 instead, will choke any low end CPU to death.

new browser will make used of Direct2D/WebGL with GPU acceleration, http://www.fishgl.com/ is one of the example, if you lurking long enough you probably know Quake2 and CS1.6 can be played in browser already.

It's kinda depends on system as well.
