Neither Firefox nor Chrome optimize for battery efficiency like Safari does on Macs or Edge does for Windows.

I’m not trying to be the “just Google it” guy without citations. But I couldn’t find a definitive citation - just general discussions and some YouTube videos including earlier discussions on HN.

I searched for “firefox vs safari battery mac” and the same for Edge on Windows.

Chrome doesn't optimize for battery efficiency like Safari on Macs. It optimizes better than Safari.

They may be referring to the fact that Firefox is probably the worst on battery of the 3 main browsers when used on macOS.

Safari does admittedly set a very high bar though, and only cares about 1-2 platforms at most.
