Reducing frame rate to 30 frames per second.

Waking CPU less often due to optimal scheduling of JavaScript timers.

We achieved these results with the magic of several under-the-hood optimizations: This is what we did in previous tests, and this is what we did when comparing Opera to Edge. You can also use a special algorithm that scrolls these websites similar way real users do. For example, you can use a variety of different websites (video, news etc,) to imitate the way users browse.

Tests will never perfectly reflect the way real people browse, but there are ways to make some tests more reliable than others. The detailed methodology is described below.

Opera Developer (.0) with native ad blocker and power saver enabled is able to run 22% longer than Microsoft Edge (25.10586.0.0) on a laptop running Windows 10, 64-bit, and 35% longer than the latest version of Google Chrome (.103). The methodology we applied instead was exactly the same as we provided before: browsing a set of popular websites where the automation simulates interaction with the website, making it close to what we expect normal browsing would be on such page.

So our first step was to see if it actually is the case that “Edge gives longer battery time than Opera”? As Microsoft hasn’t revealed its full methodology, we were unable to run the same tests. If we get beaten in a test like this, we consider it a bug. Like most other engineering teams, we love it when someone picks a fight. Following the video was an extensive blog post and obviously a huge PR effort, and it was argued that the test showed that Edge beats Firefox, Chrome and Opera.

This Monday, however, Microsoft released a video, similar to the one we made, showing Microsoft Edge winning in their test. Mostly because Edge is only available on Windows 10. One browser we didn’t pay attention to was Microsoft Edge. Our tests showed that the feature increased the battery life by as much as 50% when compared to other browsers, such as Google Chrome. This feature optimizes our Chromium/Blink based browser engine and user interface in order to give users more time to browse their favorite websites. This May, Opera became the first major browser to ship a dedicated battery saving feature.
