Microsoft’s own testing, and claimed the real-world figures, show that Edge is a battery powerhouse.
Microsoft reckons that you’ll get more battery life out of your notebook when browsing the web with Edge in comparison to rivals such as Google’s Chrome or Firefox.
Obviously this is when running Windows 10 (the only OS in which the Edge browser is available), and Redmond’s tests show that the average power consumption under an identical workload was 2,068mW for its own browser, compared to 2,819mW for chrome and 3,161mW for Firefox. Opera, with Battery Saver mode enabled, came in at 3,077mW.
