Weber contends that Chrome is a city driver. “When you’re browsing the web with Chrome, like city miles, it wakes up, sprints to next stop light, stops and then sprints to next stop light. Some run like they’re always in the city while others operate in a more efficient highway miles mode. Jason Weber, Microsoft’s director of program management for Microsoft Edge, explained that different web browsers consume energy in very different ways, much like cars don’t all consume gas in the same way. Some are more efficient than others. The second, more technical post promises that the next Edge browser, which will ship with the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update, will be even more energy efficient. In a pair of blog posts published on Monday, Microsoft engineers outline how the current Edge browser can save up to 53 percent of your battery life on a Windows 10 system, as compared to other web browsers like Chrome and Firefox. Microsoft says it has “tens of millions of users,” but it’s barely a blip on most web browser market share reports.Įven so, Microsoft has used the telemetry provided by those millions of users and an exhaustive battery of tests to prove that Microsoft Edge is actually a more battery-efficient browser than Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Microsoft Edge, the first new browser interface and engine of this decade, comes with every shipping copy of Windows 10. Microsoft has been in the operating system game for decades, but now it’s making a move in the web browser wars.
