    Safari always using significant energy. How to fix this?

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro 16 inch with M1 Pro chip and 32 GB of RAM. Whenever I work on safari my battery stats always show that it is using significant energy even if only a single tab is open. Is it normal or something I should be worried about?
