Firstly you're comparing today's Chrome with an Edge copy from more than 2 years ago. Secondly, html5test scores are bullshit. It gives a points utterly arbitrarily; you still get 5 points for continuing to implement rejected specifications like Web SQL, while actually useful features like the FileSystem API or WebAssembly gets you nothing.

I've never used Edge and have no particular interest in it, but html5test is basically a way for Chrome users to feel good about themselves.

(Not to say that Chrome users shouldn’t feel good about themselves for other reasons, just not their browser’s html5test score)
