Usually, when it comes to benchmarking browsers, private browsing mode, speed, memory usage may be considered by most people. But do you have heared of something about battery life? It is strange indeed. However, tech blog AnandTech now made a study which browser is best to use if you’re trying to conserve battery life on your laptop computer. And, It is surprised that IE 8 wins with the longest web surfing time, which is amazing indeed for IE 8 often leave us a bad performance in most levels.
AnandTech tested IE 8, Firefox 3.5(+ Firefox Extension AdBlock), Chrome 2, Opera 9 and 10, and Safari 4 on three different machines environment: an AMD laptop and an Intel laptop, both with Vista installed, and an Intel Atom-powered netbook with Windows XP. IE8 lead the pack on both Vista-powered machines, beating the second-place Firefox with Ad-Block by seven minutes on the AMD PC, and by five minutes on the Intel machine. Safari 4 came in dead last on both Vista laptops, trailing IE8 by over 40 minutes.

Here’s the conclusion in detail of the report:
Overall, Internet Explorer and Firefox + AdBlock consistently place near the top, with Chrome following closely behind. Opera 10 Beta 3 didn’t do as well as Opera 9.6.4, and in a couple quick tests, it doesn’t appear that the final release of Opera 10 changes the situation at all. Opera in general — version 9 or 10 — looks like it doesn’t do as well as the other major browsers. Safari is at the back, by a large margin, on all three test notebooks. We suspect that Safari 4 does better under OS X, however, so the poor Windows result probably won’t matter to most Safari users.
As a conclusion, there are many skirmishes–like those over add-ons–of which Firefox is the clear victor; When it comes loading speed, Google Chrome will win the game. But based on these results from AnandTech, Internet Explorer is really the way to go if your own concern is squeezing the most life out of your laptop battery, instead of private browsing mode or others. So, do you have a crush on Microsoft IE if you always get bored with it.
