I recently got a new, high-end Macbook Pro (16GB, 1TB SSD, i7 2.8Gz). I've been a long-time Chrome user, but I figured this would be a good time to try Safari: I've heard good things about it's energy usage.
I used Safari as my primary browser for about 2 weeks, and just switched back to Chrome. Safari wasn't bad, but it seems to take a LONG time to make connections to websites. And sometimes it would just hang indefinitely. At first I thought this was a machine issue, but all my other networking apps (Chrome, Postman, etc.) return immediately.
Like parent comment, I really want to like Safari...
- mhb 11y agoEnergy usage? What would the difference in energy used be for Chrome vs. Safari vs. Firefox?
- wiremine 11y agoCheck out this article, or google around for others. Apple has spent a lot of time making Safari more efficient to extend battery life: http://bgr.com/2015/08/05/google-chrome-vs-safari-battery-life/ http://bgr.com/2015/08/05/google-chrome-vs-safari-battery-li...
