• "Early internal testing results of devices on the May 2020 Update are showing a memory-use reduction of up to 27% when browsing with Microsoft Edge," 
• "The new Microsoft Edge shares the same underlying technology as Google Chrome courtesy of Google's open-source Chromium project, which Microsoft now contributes to."
• "the improvements to memory use coming to Edge and Chrome derive from Microsoft expanding the availability of Windows segment heap memory to Win32 applications...a result of Microsoft's Project Reunion effort, announced at Build 2020, which aims to close the gap between the classic Win32 app and modern Universal Windows Platform (UWP)."
