The battle of the web browsers has been going on ever since the internet became easily accessible to the masses. However, the Wall Street Journal concluded that users should still use Chrome on Windows 10 because Edge does not currently have good web apps and will not support feature-adding extensions like ad blockers or password managers.
When tested streaming Netflix, the test found that Edge lasted two hours longer than Chrome.
Overall, Microsoft says that Edge performs 70% better than Chrome does on battery life, and that these results are echoed by a recent independent test carried out by the Wall Street Journal, which found that a Dell XPS 13 laptop's battery life lasted one hour longer using Edge over Chrome for regular browsing. Microsoft also gathered telemetry data from millions of Windows 10 laptops around the world which showed that Edge had the lowest power consumption when compared Chrome and Firefox, while Chrome had the highest.

The tests found that if the same browser windows were open on each machine, then the laptop running Microsoft Edge would last for 7hrs 22min, 6hrs 18min on Opera, 5hrs 9min on Firefox and 4hrs 19min on Chrome. Microsoft conducted two separate tests in a lab-controlled environment – the first measured typical browsing behaviour on popular sites like YouTube, Amazon, Facebook, Google and Wikipedia on four identical Windows 10 Surface Book laptops.Įach laptop ran a different web browser, where an automated program opened webpages in the web browser, scrolled articles and opened new tabs, while the second test primarily looked at how long the laptops would last if they were just streaming HD video.
