- JosephLark 9y agoI have plenty of battery issues on MacOS with both Firefox and Chrome. When it's a concern, I try to use Safari. I would probably use it all the time, but it's still awful when it comes to speeding up HTML5 videos (edit: including the latest Safari technology preview). It wasn't all that long ago that it didn't even do pitch correction. Now it does, but it's weirdly tinny and echoey. Firefox and Chrome both handle it fine.
- ashark 9y agoThat's too bad. Battery on my work MacBook (and making my whole system beachball constantly, even with only a handful of tabs open) is what got me to switch from Firefox to Chrome ~6 years ago, and from there to Safari for even better battery life (and avoiding Google).
- dsego 9y agoFor me too, on some pages it heats up and fans start to whirl. But lets wait and see. What made me switch is that the new safari has some really aggressive caching of css and js files.
