Edge came out well in all tests, according to Microsoft, with results showing that the Edge browser streaming the video lasted more than three hours than the machine using Google Chrome. Lastly Microsoft ran a streaming high-definition video on each Surface Book to see which device died first. Secondly Microsoft took telemetry data from millions of Windows 10 machines, which Microsoft said proves Edge is more efficient in day-to-day use than its competition. Unless specified, all browser settings were left at their defaults.” Of the above Microsoft states: “Average power consumption in milliwatts for identical workloads in Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera (with battery saver mode enabled). With the first test, in a lab-controlled environment, Microsoft measured the actual power usage during browsing with each Surface Book using one of the browsers set to do the same activities scrolling through social media sites, watching videos, reading articles, etc., to see which browser was more energy efficient. Microsoft said this is the case, as Edge was created from ground up to “prioritize power”. You may not be surprised that in a test conducted by Microsoft, its own browser looks pretty good. In what Microsoft dubbed a Microsoft Edge Experiment, rival browsers including Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera were pitted against each other in a series of tests using Surface Book laptops. Microsoft wants to show what a profound difference a browser can make to the battery life of one’s laptop, notably how its own Edge browser is far less demanding than Google Chrome in terms of power consumption.
