Using Chrome on M1 MacBook Pro

[Random Gecko]

Is the battery drain on the M1 Apple Silicon version of Chrome that's now been released anywhere close to Safari in terms of battery drain?

Safari is still the reigning champ of best battery life for a web browser on any Mac, M1 or Intel, but you may want to check this out: https://chromeisbad.com

Oh wow, ok.

The reason I asked was because I've used Macs for years as a creative (as a pro musician, though not a lot of that is happening just now here in the UK...) so I've started working for a company using Salesforce which doesn't exactly seem to run that great in Safari, so was hoping to use Chrome. This has put me right off.

I guess I'll try something like Firefox for that?

Use Firefox instead.
