Ooh, that's a very nice change. I've stubbornly stuck to Safari on my laptop because of its low power usage.

Now I'd be losing the tabs/bookmarks integration with iOS's unchangeable default browser, but that's not as big a deal to me.

Does this mean Firefox won't always be the "apps using significant energy" list?
Web browsers are basically the new higher-level operating system. They likely should be using more energy than anything else considering how much we run in them.
Maybe. This was but one improvement in a backlog.
