That second part was indeed pretty self evident years ago, but I regularly watch 4k content on YouTube on low powered machine these days and can't say I see the difference anymore.
- flir 15d agoYou might still in a power usage graph.
- folkrav 15d agoEh, maybe, maybe not. I watch YouTube content, not power usage graphs, perceived performance is good enough for what I do with it. If I'm on battery I'm probably not watching in 4k anyway, at which point the difference in power use should be pretty negligible.
- flir 15d agoGot curious, so I did a very unscientific experiment. Playing 3 1080 music videos in FF pulls about 60W here. In Chrome, about 50W. No videos playing is about 30W. If it's uBlock or 3.33W, I know which I'm choosing.
- folkrav 13d agoIt's more about "abdicating to the Chromium monopoly" than "uBlock" in my case, in which case that 3.33W isn't so bad for me. YMMV I guess.
- happytoexplain 15d agoI'm not saying it's FF's fault, but it undeniably runs worse on my machine.
