It used to be the fastest, but nowadays I find its performance doesn't surpass Firefox and Edge that much. Actually, I haven't used Chrome much at all recently, so maybe it doesn't at all nowadays. I definitely haven't noticed it's absence now that I've been slowly returning to Firefox thanks to Google and Microsoft's constant privacy snafoos.
But Edge uses pretty much the same software stack as Chrome, just with some other stuff thrown on top.
These days Chrome can be slower than other browsers. The days of it having a performance advantage are over. Still, it's worth picking a browser that's not based on Chromium, just to make it a little harder for Google to dictate how the web works.
