Google Chrome with ‘Way More Battery Life’
While Google has made some marginal improvements over the years - we can attest to the fact that it used to be even worse - it still doesn’t hold a candle to Safari when it comes to maximizing your battery performance, and in fact one of the first thoughts that came to mind when Apple released its new M1 MacBooks with their stellar battery life was the fact that maybe Chrome users actually will be able to get through half a day of use while running on battery.
While everything else about your choice of Mac browser is largely subjective and down to personal preference, it’s inarguable that Google’s Chrome browser has always been way harder on your MacBook battery due to its considerably less power-efficient design.Īlthough some of this comes down to Apple’s home field advantage - after all, it owns and controls the hardware and the operating system - the reality is that there really hasn’t been an excuse for Google Chrome to be as bad as it is on Macs, especially when you consider that other apps that rely on the same Chromium engine, including Microsoft’s Edge browser, has always done way better - even on Windows. If there’s one edge that Apple’s own Safari browser has had for years on Apple’s MacBooks, it’s the fact that you can actually surf the web for more than a couple of hours without killing your battery.
