Microsoft has tested four popular browser to determine which one consumes less power from your notebook battery. The results were quite interesting.
Many users of laptops known that Chrome has a negative impact on the battery life of the device. Google has already promised to solve this problem, but until the update is not helping. It takes advantage of the Microsoft, running a series of interesting and completely fair test to show that its proprietary browser Edge consumes more economical battery.
two tests to assess the energy consumption of the Opera browser, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge was conducted. The first test conducted in the laboratory. In this simulated a typical user behavior on the Internet - popular sites for viewing a predetermined algorithm. During the second test in browsers to run high-definition video streaming. Recorded duration of the notebook works (experiment involved audio device brands and models of the same software) in both cases.
According to these data, the computer while watching a video through the Google Chrome lasts only 4 hours 19 minutes. battery when working with Microsoft Edge enough for 7 hours 22 minutes. Firefox and Opera have also proven to be an outsider: their energy consumption above Edge. These results with little difference in the number of repetitions and the simulation model of behavior on the Internet.
To more precisely to prove the energy efficiency of its browser, Microsoft introduced the public telemetry data from the millions of computers on the Windows 10 (remember the system tab with a request to send the statistics - we are about this). They also confirmed that the most efficient browsers are Microsoft Edge and of Firefox, and Google Chrome shows the worst results.
This is a great course Microsoft. Thus the company is trying to grab a piece of the market for your browser, which is clearly not enough functionality in comparison with competitors. Recall that for Edge there are only a few extensions, and they become available after Update Anniversary for Windows 10 this summer. So that the company remains to develop the energy efficiency of your browser.
