Re: Everyone says Chrome devastates Mac battery life, but does it? I tested for 36 hours to find out.
That brings us to the “Chrome devastates your Mac’s battery” claim that is commonly thrown around as fact, although rarely while citing any sources. This is presented as common knowledge. It’s as indisputable as gravity – a fact of the universe – Chrome crushes your battery and Safari sips it. […] About 18 months ago, Google claimed they'd caught up to Safari in battery drain, so I decided to do some testing of my own. […] My findings tell me that everyone should put this myth that Chrome is somehow the worst battery hog in the world to rest.
I don't use Chrome, but it's been on my mind lately. I'm having some issues with Safari on my Mac: sites not working properly, stalling, forgetting I just logged in; the app freezes for 30 seconds at a time, and sometimes the whole browser stops loading pages until I restart it. Right now, Firefox is my default browser.
