Microsoft Has Proven That Google' s Chrome Browser Drains More Battery

Google Chrome, which is one of the most widely
used browsers globally with about 55.7% share
on desktop and 34.6% market share on mobile.


However, in a recent test performed by
Microsoft , they proved that Google Chrome
drains laptops battery more than any other
browser.


Microsoft performed a test with four similar
Surface Books streaming media from four
different web browsers .

The test was timed and
the computer running Google Chrome was the
first to die after 4 hours and 19 minutes .


The next to die was the Firefox which lasted for
5 hours and 9 minutes .
Opera has been working on a battery saving
feature and this seems to be quite effective as
the computer running the browser lasted 6 hours
and 18 minutes .





Microsoft Edge took the crown as the machine
running it lasted 7 hours and 22 minutes , giving
it about 3 more solid hours of use over Google
Chrome.
This is just a business strategy.
Microsoft is trying to persuade people to use its
browser, but apart from this great battery
management, the browser still has a lot of
catching-up to do with the rest.

Lack of
extension is one of the reasons a lot of people
are yet to adopt it, unavailability on mobile
platforms like Android and iOS is another.
