I hope Microsoft makes a point of prioritizing efficiency over features in Chrome-Edge. Google has seemingly placed low resource consumption and low battery life impact as tertiary concerns (at best), opting to woo developers with a constant stream of hastily developed shiny features instead.

As it is the only browser that seems to care at all about not sucking your battery life down a black hole is Safari…

The Edge team has repeatedly said that Performance/Battery Life has always been important to them. One of the reasons they've mentioned for why they are going Chromium-based is that it gives them more time to focus on Performance/Battery rather than web platform bugs, and they've definitely listed Performance/Battery as a continued "Focus Area" for the team.
