Then again, our laptop battery only lasts 1/3 as much on MacOS. I know, I know. The community keeps pretending this isn’t an issue for the last, hum, 15 years?

  Anything to back those claims up? I use Firefox and didn't really notice this (although I am rarely on battery), and other than Google Meet making my machine throttle (and I blame that on Google not on Mozilla), I don't use Chrome for anything else for my browsing.

  I've used Firefox across devices, across the years. This just isn't my experience, at all, remotely. And I have had to use Chrome (now it is Edge) for many work functions, so I do have the A/B comparisons. I'm not doubting your experience, fine, but I also know I'm not "pretending" anything in my own experience.

    Firefox on Android 16, it sucks the battery up in background mode (even with permission to use background turned off). If I manually close it no issue.

      I believe you. I also do not, and have never, experienced this. I've been using Pixel phones since the 3a in 2019/2020.

      doesn't happen in my case (OnePlus 15/Android 16, Firefox background usage allowed in some "smart" mode whatever that means, doesn't suck the battery in background although it's on most of the time).

        Doesn't happen in my case, either. Pixel 9a, Android 16.

      I have better battery life on Furi FX1s than any of my Android devices (Pixel 6a, Fairphone 4). This is with closing applications when I no longer need them on all devices.

      Sorry, forgot to say pixel 7a, not sure why I got downvoted though? I'm still going to use Firefox, I just hope the battery issue I experience goes away.

  ublock origin lite + adguard on safari are pretty decent. yeah I love Firefox - but it takes a lot of memory + drains battery faster
