The Google Chrome browser team detail changes they’ve made to make sure your Mac battery lasts longer.
Google has detailed some improvements to Chrome that make it less of a battery drain on Macs with Apple’s latest M2 silicon.
Google claims its tests with the latest version of Chrome running on a 2022 13-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 chip allows users to browse for 17 hours or watch YouTube for 18 hours on a single charge.
Google ran the tests in February 2023 using Chrome version 110.0.5481.100 on the MacBook Pro model with 8 GB RAM running MacOS Ventura 13.2.1. It measured Chrome’s performance using its own open-source benchmark suite.
