Google Chrome.app is pretty much constantly on the list of apps using significant energy so I don't think that's unusual.
I'm using 13" Air and have 10hours+ of battery time with it.
- dangayle 13y agoChrome is the only app I have that will consistently turn my macbook into a 1000˚ clothes iron. That's probably the #1 reason I still use Firefox for general computing.
- selectnull 13y agoThat's not my experience. Chrome is my main browser and although it is using significant energy according to battery indicator, the notebook is never running hot nor do I have problems with battery.
- dangayle 13y agoI should note, I tend to have a LOT of tabs open (like 20–70, because I have a sickness). In Chrome, each one gets its own slice of CPU, and it gets way up there. My lap, and my potential for creating future children, much prefer Firefox.
- matznerd 13y agoIf you call 20-70 tabs a sickness, then what would you call my 374 tabs?

- yawz 13y agoThis has been my experience as well. Many tabs = MacBook is burning like a second sun. Sometimes I restart Chrome and it's better. So maybe some of it is caused by leaky scripts on pages etc. but it's very annoying.
