Need help conserving that laptop battery?



After a recent test, Internet Explorer 9 proved to be the most energy-efficient browser!

Microsoft compared its new browser with Opera 11, Firefox 4, Chrome 10, and Safari 5 on an Intel laptop, measuring how many watts the machine consumed with the browser idling, showing a news site, and running graphics-intensive Web tests.

    Good to know. I'm always struggling with battery life.

    Also, you might want to change some of your text colors- they blend in with the background.

    I feel like they're just saying that because no one uses it anymore

    Yeah IE probably only uses less battery because the stuff it needs to run is already intertwined with windows and running anyway.
