With the Windows 10 Creators Update rolling out to the public , Microsoft decided to rerun its battery efficiency tests across the major browsers and unsurprisingly Edge came out on top.
If you’re a fan of deja vu or Microsoft Edge, you are going to enjoy this. Remember those battery tests between browsers that Microsoft did soon after the Anniversary Update was rolled out to the public, to prove that Edge was the most efficient of them all? Well, the company has done it again. The Creators Update started rolling out to the general public earlier this week, so the Redmond company redid the battery tests with unsurprising results – Edge won.
This time, however, the company came all prepared. It posted its testing methodology before another browser could question the results. The said browser itself is conspicuously missing from these tests, though. The company measured the time it took for three identical Surface Book laptops to fully run through their respective batteries while streaming videos from Vimeo via different browsers, in full-screen. The machines were running the build 10563 and were connected to the internet via Wi-Fi.
