Edge Battery Mode Takes Load Off Your Device

When it comes to evaluating and analyzing the total energy consumption of a browser, there are two key methods: assessing the energy consumption related to pure navigation and examining the energy consumption linked to the functionality of the browser itself.

Recent research has shed light on the memory usage of various browsers upon launch. Notably, Edge, Firefox, Chrome, and Samsung fall short in this regard, with a median memory usage of 413MB. On the other end of the spectrum, Mint and Opera Mini emerge as the most energy-hungry browsers, while Ecosia drops to the middle of the ranking. Interestingly, the version of Firefox evaluated in 2020 was one of the first versions, and it seems that Firefox teams have been actively working on optimizing the power consumption of their browser since.

The average power consumption of Firefox is an impressive 49mAh - a significant reduction compared to the 47mAh average recorded in the 2020 ranking (a drop of -4.2%). This finding underscores the importance of energy efficiency in modern web browsing experiences. In our comparison, Firefox Focus emerges as the best solution for energy-conscious users.

By adopting Edge battery mode and other power-saving features, you can significantly reduce your device's energy consumption and prolong its lifespan.
