My MacBook is plugged in 90% of the time. While travelling for example on a plane and I forget to charge it, then yeah, Safari is helpful to have.

- hombre_fatal 7y agoEven while plugged in, your computer has limited CPU/GPU to go around. Swapping out one app for another that's almost identical but with less CPU usage seems like a no-brainer. Though I do keep Chrome around with a couple tabs open for its development tools during work. Safari even uses fewer resources when watching Youtube/Netflix at the same resolution. I first noticed this while using a dual monitor setup with a fullscreen game on one and Youtube/Netflix on the other. I noticed my game's FPS would improve if I merely changed from Chrome to Safari when watching video. Did some more scientific measurements and never looked back.
