Glad to hear it. You can also get Firefox for your Android device if you want to sync across devices.
I recommend installing 'uBlock Origin' (block ads from being downloaded and run) and 'NoScript' (block random JS from running - you can whitelist per site). This will really help with RAM and CPU limitations.

I switched to it, after FF pissed me off with the mentioned hogginess, I don't use that sync stuff anywhere, but I can see, it's present on Edge. The latter is way more efficient, honestly.
Oh sorry, you asked about Pinebook Pro. well, then FF But I think Edge will be available for arm64 soon.
I really suspect Edge is not faster than Firefox if it supports the same feature set. The only way I would expect to see Edge be faster on Windows is if they are using new/undocumented features to give themselves an unfair advantage.
