Using a power-efficient browser is one
of the best ways to get more out of your PC or tablet. But,
unfortunately, poor power efficiency is one of the most troubling
problems a laptop user faces. On Monday, Microsoft decided to prove to
everyone that its own proprietary browser might be the best in the
market for your battery.
Entering the battleground of today’s
leading web browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera,
with its new revamped Edge browser, Microsoft has launched a video test
that shows why using Chrome, Firefox or Opera on your laptop might be a
bad idea. They compared the battery life of laptops running Edge, with
the battery life of laptops running other three browsers.
To do the test, Microsoft ran the Edge,
Chrome, Firefox, and Opera browsers on the Surface Book. Then, they
automated each browser to perform the same series of activities. The
Chrome browser was the first to lose, which just lasted 4 hours and 19
minutes. The second one to lose the game was Mozilla Firefox, which
lasted for a little more than 5 hours approximately. Opera, with its new
battery saver feature, also stayed in the game for 6 hours 18 minutes
before giving up. However, the video test declares the Edge browser as
the winner, with it lasting up to 7 hours 22 minutes before draining the
battery of the Surface Book.
Hence, this controlled environment
battery test shows that Edge gives you up to 36%-53% more battery life
as compared to other alternatives.
