Chrome Beats Edge in Independent Battery Life Test Despite Microsoft's Claims

A YouTuber has taken it into his hands to resolve the silent war over battery life benchmarks currently raging between Microsoft, Google, and Opera.

This war has been going on since last year when Microsoft started publishing claims that Edge was far better at preserving a laptop's battery life than other browsers.

Both Google and Opera contested these claims, but Microsoft stood firm on its position, even creating and open-sourcing a benchmark for carrying out such tests, and re-affirming Edge's superiority after the release of the Creators Update in April this year.

YouTuber disproves Microsoft claims
In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Canadian YouTube star Linus Sebastian, known online as Linus Tech Tips, decided to create his own benchmark and put all four major browsers — Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera — through an independent test to assess their true capabilities.

His test involved buying four identical Dell Inspiron laptops, disabling all their bloatware — including Windows telemetry — and leaving the laptops running overnight, browsing the web via automated scripts.

His results showed that Chrome, and not Edge, takes the smallest toll on laptop batteries, and it does so on a more consistent basis, unlike Edge, who's battery life drainage varied wildly between different iterations of the same test.

Furthermore, Opera also faired better than Edge, who managed to beat only Firefox, a browser that Mozilla never claimed it was built to save battery life in the first place.

I like Linus's reviews on laptops as well

I don't know which browser uses more power but for sure i can't use the data a youtuber did with such a simple test to make conclusions and dis MS that probably had a way bigger sample pool and test requirements.
Youtube is good and all but i can't accept such tests as actual facts.

just look at fans RPM when you work with chrome VS edge, much higher rpm in fans when you use chrome.
