Tests were several. BatteryBox compared the energy consumption of browsers in different tasks: work with e-mail, streaming music, reading news and browsing certain websites. After output of the arithmetic mean values appeared that Safari leads in time with a margin of 52 minutes on and 73 minutes Firefox of Chrome.
Practically in all tests Safari was the winner. The largest gap obtained by viewing a video on YouTube - of Chrome and Firefox almost a quarter less.
The same applies to search engines. Although the gap is minimal, Safari still lives longer when using Google, DuckDuckGo and Bing.
In some tests, Safari still lost. For example, when using the web version of Twitter, Firefox proved to be a better - so it is with several other sites. Chrome could become a leader only on sites VentureBeat and Engadget, and with minimum disruption.
