Which Browser Will Make Your Laptop’s Battery Last Longer?

April 2, 2012 · by Espen André Øverdahl

Do you have a laptop or netbook with average or poor battery lifetime? If that’s the case, you might want to use a browser that's able to take advantage of the power saving features included with Windows 7 or Windows 8.

The website 7 Tutorials tested all the major browsers and had some interesting results - If they were to pick the winners, they would be Internet Explorer and Opera according to the tests they ran. Read the full article to get more details about their test procedures and results.

    I knew this for a long time using a single-core Atom netbook. Opera could still handle more than 100 tabs, and battery life was pretty darn good. The rest were TERRIBLE.
