Microsoft says its Edge browser is best for b.attery life.
Microsoft as of late has been operating under the assumption that battery life in a mobile computer is of the utmost importance. If you share those same sentiments, the results of Redmond’s recent browser efficiency testing may be of interest.
Using three identical Surface Book laptops running Windows 10 build 16299, Microsoft recently conducted tests to see how long it would take the systems to deplete their batteries while streaming HTML5 video in fullscreen mode using the latest versions of today’s most popular web browsers.
According to Microsoft, Edge 16 bested the competition across the board with an average normalized runtime of 16 hours and 41 minutes. That’s 29 percent longer than Chrome, 40 percent longer than Opera and 79 percent longer than Firefox.
