Apparently, whenever a user is browsing the web with Chrome on their laptop, the operating system at times, will deliver a pop-up notification via the taskbar, saying that Google Chrome drains more battery than Microsoft Edge. The message also includes a note that if you switch to Microsoft Edge, you’ll gain 36% more browsing time.
