There is a bug in Google’s Chrome browser that steals system clock cycles on Windows machines that could drain a laptop’s battery as much as 25 percent faster than any other browser.
The bug was first reported back in 2010 but apparently Google has had better things to do than saving energy or worrying about draining people’s batteries. Ian Morris, a contributor to Forbes noticed the problem years ago and <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/ianmorris/2014/07/14/googles-chrome-web-browser-is-killing-your-laptop-battery/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Google's Chrome Web Browser Is Killing Your Laptop Battery</a> revisited the issue (causing a bit of a storm that might have actually kicked Google into actually working on the problem).
