Browser performance is not only about objective benchmark but also subjectivity on our feeling when using the browser. So trying it first hand and be open-minded would help confirming it on your very personalized usecase. I suggest to try Firefox as side browser for your light browsing need. Maybe like when reading news, social media browser, or anything make sense for you. This worked for me, in my case, now chrome is my side browser.
