Google Chrome vs Laptop Batteries?
-
Just read this article: Google's Chrome Web Browser is Killing Your Laptop Battery/[^] Of course. I just recently made the switch to Chrome. Good thing I don't use the laptop much, I guess.
The German computer magazine c't has tested this recently (issue 15 of this year). Chrome is indeed the browser with the highest system load followed by Firefox and IE which has the lowest load. All browsers draw less current when running on battery powered systems. But setting the clock tick rate to 1 ms will not slow down modern computers significantly.
