That would be a whole different test then. Not about efficiency of the browser itself but about what the browser gets served.

The test was which browser gives you the better battery life while browsing the internet like a normal user.

Why is a different question and it's not that relevant, I often don't care why something I USE works better I just care that it does.

If it something I BUILD then I would care much more but again this is a whole different issue.

Within those specifications, the objection about the ad-block become irrelevant. If the browser justs works better, then users don't care and can simply enjoy more battery time.

The case for more normalized tests is to find out which browser is factually better designed/written.
