Opera Comes For Microsoft’s Browser

Recall that Microsoft said that the PC running Edge lasted 70 percent longer than the PC running Chrome, 43 percent longer than the one running Firefox, and 17 percent longer than the one with Opera.
It didn’t take long for Opera to refute that claim. In their own words:

“Like most other engineering teams, we love it when someone picks a fight,” writes Opera Software’s Błażej Kaźmierczak in a blog. “If we get beaten in a test like this, we consider it a bug.”

Opera’s ran a test with the native ad blocker and power saver enabled, Based on this method, Opera was able to get a battery life of 3:55 hours while Microsoft Edge followed behind with 3:12 hours. It even added its methodology for testing so you can replicate.

Their final words?

“The browser is by far the most used application on both laptops and desktop computers, and for users it is undoubtedly beneficial that browsers are improving and competing,” Kaźmierczak writes. “However, if Microsoft really wants to prove that its browser performs better than others (in any regard), the company should be transparent about its methodology so that others can replicate it.
Better luck next time, Microsoft!

At least we now know One thing for sure
1.Opera and Edge are the best browsers when it comes to power saving,
