Switching from using Chrome as your browser to Safari could get you an extra one hour of battery life or more, according to a study by BatteryBox.After noticing that one of their employees was consistently getting more battery life out of his MacBook after switching to Safari, the company decided to modify a testing system used to collect data on BatteryOS to instead monitor power consumption on a MacBook.We measured the power consumption of watching videos on YouTube, browsing Reddit, streaming on Netflix vs Putlocker, creeping on Twitter and FaceBook, composing emails on services like Gmail and Hotmail, and searching for stuff on Google, Bing (yup, surprisingly, it’s still used), and DuckDuckGo. We used a factory-restored MacBook Pro Retina 13” to test each website on one internet browser at a time. No programs other than the browser were open.Share Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Email, Reddit, Digg, Delicious, StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTubeAdvertise Here
