Best Browser For Long Lasting Laptop Battery Backup.

Browser used in the system may also be the cause to reduce the battery backup time. Recently Microsoft made tests over browsers, which showed that on a Windows 7 laptop

with a 56 Watt/hour battery, IE9 could be used for 3 hours and 45 minutes before exhausting the power supply. (The "56 Watt/hour" designation means that the battery can provide 56 Watts of power for one hour before it's drained.)
The closest competitor was Mozilla's Firefox 4, which came in at 3 hours and 35 minutes, just 10 minutes shy of IE9. Internet Explorer 9 Browser For More Battery Backup


Other browsers, however, fared poorly in comparison.

Chrome 10, for example, lasted two hours and 56 minutes; Apple's Safari 5 two hours and 55 minutes; and Opera Software's Opera 11 two hours and 43 minutes, or 62 minutes less than IE9.

Not surprisingly, Microsoft stressed the importance of browser battery consumption.


"As computing becomes more mobile, and as the HTML5-based Web becomes pervasive, it's important that browsers make power consumption a focus," said the Microsoft managers. "We hope and encourage the industry and other browser vendors to follow us on the path to a more power-efficient Web."
