On Windows devices, Microsoft Edge is usually the browser that consumes the least battery; on macOS computers, Safari offers the highest energy efficiency thanks to its direct integration with Apple hardware.
Tips to reduce battery consumption while browsing:
- Activate resource-saving mode: Use built-in features like 'Efficiency mode' in Edge or 'Memory Saver' in Chrome to freeze inactive tabs.
- Limit secondary extensions: Uninstall add-ons that run continuously in the background.
- Use hardware acceleration: Ensure the browser uses the GPU to decode videos on streaming platforms.
