What makes you think Edge is less resource hungry than Chrome? Last time I checked the resources used by Edge it was similar to Chrome and even worse in some cases. Any browser that implements a process-per-tab architecture is going to consume significantly more resources than one that doesn't.
Visiting The Verge, Hacker News and Ars Technica yields the following usage:

Edge: 399MB
Mac:
Safari: 396MB
Chrome: 452MB
