I wonder how using ublock and umatrix affect battery life.

Ublock Origin I already use but I hadn't heard of umatrix, that looks like a very handy tool, thanks!
I just tried an experiment turning my various blockers off - I've got uBlock, Ghostery and Flashcontrol and had 26 tabs open with random stuff in Chrome. Doing nothing user cpu was about 4 point something percent with them off vs 1 point something with them on.
