I remember reading many times over the last 2+ years about how hard Chrome is on a Mac laptop battery compared to Safari.

I haven't owned an Apple laptop in years so I didn't pay much attention. But both of my kids in college have MBPs, so I advised them to use Safari.

Though in the last 6 months I've read several articles claiming that Chrome has improved quite a bit in this regard.

And since I just bought a new 13.3" MBA, I'm curious again. So how do you find Chrome vs. Safari lately with respect to battery life on Sierra?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
