As browsers affect battery life notebook

In the modern Internet user has a large selection of browsers. In their comparison is taken into account speed, view this site correctly, the support javascript, front-end solutions. But few people think about how to choose the browser affect the battery life noutbukov.Avtory edition AnandTech tested the effect of various browsers on laptop batteries. His aim was to find the most economical programs for Web surfing in terms of duration of batarei.Reshenie conduct such a test arose after the authors of the article noted that, depending on the type of content viewed notebook batteries are discharged at different speeds. To test were used for sites that contain Flash-elements. Tests were conducted on three laptops with similar specifications, but with different processors - AMD and Intel.Dlya early authors of the material analyzed, the effect on the rate of fall of the battery to view sites with Flash. It turned out that the sites without the interactive Flash-savers are able to extend notebook battery life by almost 50%. Testing was carried out as follows: in the browser loads the site into three separate tabs, after 60-seconds off the open page force the update. For such tests, we used the following browsers: Apple Safari 4.0.3, Google Chrome 2, Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2, Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, Opera 9.6 and Opera 10 Beta 3. A similar test was conducted for the Firefox with add-in installed AdBlock Plus, blocking the flash-reklamu.V during the test measured the levels of the battery test laptops. To test were used laptops NV52 and NV58 Gateway with AMD and Intel and the netbook ASUS Eee PC 1005HA. These devices, according to the authors of the test are not high-performance computers and are used most often in situations where important long charge batarei.1. Test results for laptop Gateway NV52 based on the AMD platform RS780MNNa this notebook is the most carefully treated to a battery browser Internet Explorer 8. This browser to 4,2% ahead of Firefox with Adblock Plus, who took second place. Number three was Chrome, straggler from the second to 4,3%, fourth place was taken by Firefox, the last - Safari.2. Test results for laptop Gateway NV58 platform IntelZdes also was leading Internet Explorer 8, while the second place was taken by Firefox AdBlock, behind only 2,25%. Third - traditionally have Chrome, but the backlog at this time amounted to 5,7%. Last place again took Safari, yielding 23% leader zaryada.3. Test results netbook ASUS Eee PC 1005HADlya this computer has changed leader. The most economical in terms of browser use the battery pack was Google Chrome, ahead of 2,5% Internet Explorer 8. Third place went to Opera 10, yielding the browser from Microsoft less than 1%. Outsider not changed - it again Safari, the browser from Apple lost 36% of the leader. The authors explain the test situation that Safari does not work well with Flash-elements. For a long time they are processed, and therefore spends a lot of CPU time and battery power to display sites with Flash.Takim, if the user is important for prolonged work with the laptop on battery power, you should not use the browser Safari, as often recommended to run a standard Internet Explorer. Is also recommended to install a bunch of Firefox AdBlock, which block the great interactive flash-elements, increasing the duration of the batarei.Test also tells which processor is better to choose for long-term quality work. If a laptop is often used "field" conditions, it is best to focus our attention on the device on a platform of Intel. In this case the influence of the browser of choice for battery life is not as significant as the difference in the level of battery charge when using different tools web surfing does not exceed 5%.
