Mac battery life and Chrome vs Safari


If you're a MacBook user, you're losing an average of 1 hour of total battery life by using Chrome. Firefox is a little better, but Safari is the clear winner. You'll want to use Safari if you want to get the most battery out of your laptop.

This isn't very surprising since Apple has been pushing battery life as a feature as of late. I switched to Chrome a couple years or so ago when Safari was having problems. I still use Safari on iOS, but I've got Chrome configured how I want with extensions. Someday I may go back, but I'm not sure I'm a road warrior enough for battery alone.
