Have you ever wondered how much energy the tabs open on your laptop's browsers consume? If the answer is negative, then I'll let you know that others have done this and the result is as interesting as possible. On a MacBook Pro, each tab opened in Safari or Chrome it consumes 0.19 watts of energy per hour, and if you have many open at the same time, you risk significantly reducing the autonomy of your Mac's battery. More precisely, 100 tabs open simultaneously reduce battery life by up to an hour, but who has so many tabs open at the same time?
Making a small exercise of imagination, I will tell you that 24.000 open tabs simultaneously consume all the battery energy of a MacBook Pro in just one minute, but no one would be able to do such a performance. Exaggerations aside, you have to remember that tabs kept open unnecessarily in a browser consume battery power.
