Power use is 99% of why I use safari over chrome for my daily needs. An extra hour or more of battery is nothing to sneeze at.

- raarts 10y agoI regularly have 50 tabs open on my 8G MBA in 4-5 windows. Recently I moved from Chrome to Safari thinking it would save me battery. Well it didn't. Because Safari used so much more memory it started trashing. And I could forget about running virtualization... So now I'm back on Chrome....
- mitchty 10y agoI've 16g of ram for a reason. At the same time I'm only a bit angry with the modern web in that seeing a single tab take up 2g of memory is really starting to get to me. Not even flash was this bad. I'd encourage you to try stuff like pinboard.in, having that many tabs while fun, and I probably have more right now, really does a number on battery life. I try to keep it to one window with full tab titlebars.
