If you want to improve your battery life use Safari browser
instead of Google Chrome on MacBooks as posted
by a redditor ben174.
“Just realized how fast Chrome was KILLING my battery.
Looked at activity monitor and it's energy consumption is easily 20 times any
other applications I use. I normally use Chrome when I'm plugged in, but when
I'm strapped for power, I'm going to resort to Safari.”
“Firefox may be better with battery and Vimperator is
supposedly better than Vimium,” as posted by Dan_The_MAN_1.
“Stick with first party Apple programs in general if you
care about battery life. They know their own APIs and hardware specs better
than anyone else,” panhumanist
posted.
If you are considering about using Chrome on iOS devices,
they would be slightly affected as posted by Coldmode, another
redditor. However, Chrome doesn’t work as smoothly on iOS devices.
“On iOS, unfortunately, chrome is gimped just because it
lacks access to apples proprietary rendering engine,” pandapanda730 posted.
On the other hand, Baryn
posted,
“That isn't true. Actually, the opposite is true - Chrome
ONLY has access to Apple's rendering engine, and can't use its own. Also
contrary, Chrome is an upgrade in some respects, as it uses its own network
stack, which supports SPDY.”

posted,
“You're both partially right. Chrome on iOS is forced to use
Apple's rendering engine via webviews, however it's not allowed to use the V8
part that greatly accelerates JS performance, among other things.”
What is your opinion about all these things?
