Firefox Nightly on Mac OS decreases power usage by 3x
- Mathnerd314 7y agoIIRC Safari has the best power usage on Mac, not sure why Chrome is the only comparison.
- sugarpile 7y agoYeah, the linked stats look like this brings it in line with Chrome's power consumption which is already much, much higher than Safari's.
- atonse 7y agoAgreed. I've been using Safari for years because it was much more energy efficient than Chrome. I'd like to see how these numbers compare to Safari.
- GeekyBear 7y agoIt's worth mentioning that these power savings come as a result of the first of several changes that are being worked on, so more improvements are yet to come. I know it's been a huge amount of work to move from OpenGL to Core Animation, but it's already proven to be well worth it.
- techstrategist 7y agoI’m very excited to finally seriously consider switching back to Firefox full-time.
- stunt 7y agoWhat are the main reasons for you to not use it today?
- techstrategist 7y agoI never felt the impetus to switch back. A few years ago I used Chrome for performance, add-ons, and syncing, then I moved to OSX and use primarily Safari. When I tried firefox here the performance seemed poor so I didn't try it for long.
- sergiomattei 7y agoAmazing news. This was the bug preventing me from switching over!
