Will Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge improve iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011 performance?

I have an iMac(27-inch, Mid 2011) working with macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6.

Since it looks that there won't be anymore software upgrades, wondering if downloading either Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge will somehow improve its performance.

If so, which one is more recommended Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge?

Using a different browser is not going to improve the performance of the machine.

It may allow you to access web sites you can’t use with the old version of Safari that’s available for High Sierra, but it will have no impact on overall performance at all.

Improve Performance is subjective but this link below can offer a series of options for Web Browsers


Browsers by Mac operating system


Or, still another option below


If the user wishes to explore the Apple Trading In option where the Value of the exiting machine could be used against the cost of a new Apple Computer 


Have used this method several times for both Apple Computers and iPhones - worked well here


Or Shop Refurbished Apple computers at an Apple Reduced Cost


Have used both previously and have been satisfied each time.
