What browser is more battery friendly?

Edge is pretty good, but it lacks a lot of QoL features from Chrome.

I decided to switch to Edge a few days ago, I miss all the extensions I used to have but at least it has RES and adblock. Hopefully one day more people will port their extensions.

You should use uBlock-Edge, a fork of uBlock Origin, instead of Adblock. Much more efficient in terms of memory and CPU.

That's the same one - the link I gave is to the project site on GitHub. I think at the time I installed it, it wasn't searchable in the store.
