A quick Google search of “Chromium minimum ram” leads to a response containing these lines:

“64 MB RAM is probably not enough. You will not be able to load GMail with that much RAM, for example. I think the browser itself needs at least 100 MB without even showing a page.”

That’s considering only RAM requirements and running Chromium (the open source version of Chrome, on which the new Edge is based).  Few real Amigas have that much RAM.  We haven’t even begun to talk about the CPU requirements for non CSS websites, let alone heavy-content or decryption duties.  I would guess even a properly programmed-from-the-ground-up Amiga-optimised browser using a Vampire-accelerated Amiga would still perform relatively slowly as a result.
