I would be interested in the CPU and GPU usage of Chrome playing that video versus Edge. I have heard that Edge uses better GPU hardware acceleration for certain codecs than Edge, but I have not looked into it myself.
Just on a general topic though, I personally really like Edge's UI over Chrome. It follows Windows 10's design guidelines (which it should considering it is an MS browser), it has a proper full screen mode, and it is way more touch friendly (which as a Surface user is very important to me), and I like the inking features. With regards to performance, I too have experienced better performance on Edge versus Chrome for certain video streaming sites, namely with Netflix and Twitch, and I like some of the power saving features that Edge has over Chrome (on Surface using Chrome almost instantly turns the fans on; the same thing happens on a Macbook when using Chrome versus Safari); on the other hand, there are some websites that work much better with Chrome and in some cases are barely functional on Edge (Youtube Music is one such site). Microsoft's is building a new Edge based on Chrome's open source basis known as Chromium, which should improve performance (for both Chrome and Edge) on Windows. I just hope they do that while maintaining current Edge's UI and features.
