Wierd. I've been using Firefox Quantum Dev Edition on MBP for a few years now and it consistently uses less CPU and RAM than Chrome, with way too many tabs, and consequently better battery life by far.
Power usage still lags behind Safari, but at least it doesn't give me the spinning beachball for 30 seconds on every other new tab after 3 hours of browsing with tons of tabs.
- kace91 7y agoDo you have a retina mbp? And if so, do you have the screen resolution set up to the"more space" configuration in your macos system settings? Those two factors seem to make the problem worse for most users, since the power drain increases with your display resolution.
