Chrome really is eating all your battery life

HA! I always knew Chrome sucked and this is just concrete proof.

This and its general incompatibilities and separate procs for each tab???

Waterfox all the way......Firefox at the very least.

Doesn't change things for me very much. Too tied into Google products to move to another browser, especially Chrome Sync. Sounds weird I know.

I prefer Pale Moon (another FF variant) but for once, I completely agree with you, hearme0.

I presume then, that's the cause of android devices batteries draining fast.

I'm already too tied to Chrome and that anything different will just make me inefficient. I guess I'll just wait until Google fixes it.

This can happen for a rather large number of reasons, including (but not limited to):
- Badly-written OS-level or bundled programs.
- Badly-written 3rd-party ROMs, for rooted phones.
- Excessive syncing to too many online accounts and/or too often. Facebook is a dire offender here.
- Leaving wifi or GPS on.
- Heavy use of the CPU/GPU. For example, Goat Simulator for Android, while amusing, sucks down battery power faster than a $20 hooker eats pills. This is becoming more and more common, as apps/games get more elaborate on the Android platform.
