If you've ever wondered which Internet browser offers the best autonomy for a Windows laptop, well those from Microsoft thought to elucidate this mystery with an interesting test made for 4 of the most used browsers on the planet in the present moment.
In the video below you will see 4 Windows Microsoft Surface Book laptops, on each of them running a different browser with a script designed to automatically load various websites, the tested browsers being: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Opera .
Of all, Google Chrome had the worst result, managing to drain all the Surface Book's battery in just 4 hours and 19 minutes, and a lot of people have been complaining for some time that the browser of those in Mountain View consumes much more energy than it should have to
At a considerable distance behind we find Mozilla Firefox, this browser consuming all the energy of a Windows Surface Book laptop in just 5 hours and 9 minutes, Opera running for 6 hours and 18 minutes, almost 50% more than the Google Chrome browser .
What happens when three identical devices run on different browsers? The Microsoft Edge team wanted to find out. This experiment showed that battery life on a PC running Microsoft Edge lasts 70% longer than Chrome, 43% longer than Firefox, and 17% longer than Opera (with Battery Saver enabled).
The winner could not be anyone other than the Microsoft Edge browser, the whole test being created with the idea of showing how great it is, the Surface Book that had it installed managed to work for 7 hours and 22 minutes, with over 50% higher than in the case of Google Chrome.
As Apple praises Safari because it offers a very good autonomy for Mac, having very few functions, Microsoft praises Edge for the same thing, but compared to Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, these browsers do not offer as much functionality through extensions or add-ons.
