It also has two optional features enabled, which, again, not many are likely to turn on. Thus while Opera is mad at Microsoft, it's responding by using tests performed with an experimental version of its product, one that most consumers aren't likely to use. Microsoft's test also had Opera's power saving mode on, but there's no word on the ad blocking functionality (so we assume it was off). Opera's test, on the other hand, was performed using the latest Developer version of the browser, with both ad blocking and power saving mode enabled. However, there are very many caveats to take into account when thinking about Opera's claims.įirst off, we don't know what version of Opera Microsoft used for its test. The only thing the two companies seem to wholeheartedly agree on is that Chrome is the absolute worst when it comes to battery life on laptops. It counter-claims saying that in its own tests, Opera is easier on battery life than Edge, and by a lot - see the image below, shared by Opera.
As you might have expected, the team over there is pretty unhappy with the test conducted by its competitor.
Today Opera is responding to Microsoft's claims through a blog post. This test involved streaming a video over and over again through each browser. In a video on the matter, the company showed Chrome emptying the test laptop's battery after 4 hours and 19 minutes, Firefox after 5 hours and 9 minutes, Opera after 6 hours and 18 minutes, while Edge made it last 7 hours and 22 minutes. Yesterday we told you about a new promotional campaign by Microsoft that claims using its Edge browser will make your laptop's battery last much more on a charge than if you go for any competing product such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Opera.
