Google Chrome Promises To Fix That Battery Drain Problem For Mac Download

Google Chrome users on Macs are getting a fix for the browser's biggest weakness: battery drain. The company announced it is updating its browser so that it sips, not guzzles, a Mac's battery when compared to the built-in browser, Safari.

Google has already made some changes to curb Chrome's battery appetite, according to a Google Plus post from Peter Kasting, Chrome's senior software engineer. Google is working to make Chrome less of a RAM hog, something that not only drains the battery but makes computers lag. Last week, Google said Chrome would stop autoplaying flash ads.

Mozilla today the, building upon the new 'Quantum' features that were introduced in Firefox 57 back in November. Firefox 57 introduced a redesigned interface, new UI features, speeds twice as fast as Firefox 52, and an engine that uses 30 percent less memory than Google Chrome, and Mozilla is continuing to introduce additional improvements in Firefox 58. Firefox 58 includes updates to Gecko, Firefox's rendering engine, which are designed to streamline and speed up the browsing experience. Specific new additions include background tab throttling, a WebAssembly Streaming Compiler, and Off-Main-Thread Painting (OMTP) for a 'significantly better' rendering process, with full details on the speed improvements available on. Improvements have also been made to the way CSS fonts are displayed for shorter loading times, there's a new Promise feature to reduce redundant code, and functional and privacy improvements have been made to Firefox Screenshots.

Full release notes for the update are. With this release, we're building on the great foundation provided by our all-new Firefox Quantum browser. We're optimizing the performance gains we released in 57 by improving the way we render graphics and cache JavaScript. We also made functional and privacy improvements to Firefox Screenshots. On Firefox for Android, we've added support for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) so you can add websites to your home screen and use them like native apps.Existing Firefox users will be able to upgrade to Firefox 58 automatically by restarting the browser. Non-Firefox users can download Firefox 58 for macOS for free. But Chrome damage is not that severe and easily noticeable as with the new Firefox.

Yes you can see the usage in Activity monitor, but it won't start up your CPU's fans on some random WordPress blog. That depends on the page. I've had Chrome kick off the fans to what I'd call pretty high RPMs, when Safari wouldn't even take them past their idle speeds. Regardless, I don't like Chrome at all.

Firefox is much nicer, and Safari is king of the hill (in my opinion). Mostly has to do with the UI for me, and how they render the pages in their windows. I had not opened FireFox in years so instead of downloading it from their site, I opened it and went to the preferences and clicked 'update' which triggered an update and refresh button in the main window It restarted and then I had to go to the about screen and subsequently went through 3 updating and restart cycles before finally 'you're on the latest version' and for real this time because after every relaunch, the launch page on the FF website said 'you're on the latest version' while the about screen was downloading yet another update. After 10 minutes of this and 250 megabytes of downloads across 4 different versions, I really should have just downloaded the latest from FF's website and replaced the current app.

What an odd update situation. Why wouldn't the browser just query what the latest is and update that?
