Advice Request Which browser consumes less energy?

Hello everyone, does anyone know which browser consumes less energy?

Different browsers consume different amounts of energy depending on their features, settings, and usage patterns. However, some studies suggest that browsers like Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari are more energy-efficient than Google Chrome, especially when running on laptops or other portable devices. It may be worth experimenting with these browsers and comparing their energy usage to find the one that works best for you.

Edge. Noticeably less CPU and RAM.

Any modern system with 16 gb of ram or more it shouldn't really matter.

For me, Comodo, Sidekick and Edge browsers are using less resources.

For me, the answer is Microsoft Edge. Mozilla Firefox is using to much resources on my system.

On macOS it will be Safari.

On Windows among Chrome, Edge and Firefox, Edge is the most energy saving browser specially with the sleeping tabs feature. Firefox is the worst.

I no longer use Chrome to know what they offer, but other Chromium-based browsers have featured energy saving options.

Microsoft Edge offers Efficient Mode, or Sleeping Tabs.



Opera GX offers a CPU Limiter and other energy modes.

From the OS, switching your power plan, using the integrated GPU(?) and reducing brightness can help reduce overall power consumption whilst in-use. External displays can be set to sleep after ie. 4 hours, and completely powering down or putting devices to sleep may help when they are not in use.

Even with just 8GB RAM and running Firefox it doesn't matter to me
