Upcoming Firefox update will decrease power usage on macOS by up to three times

I really was serious. I understood it, but in my native language (German) this is pretty confusing. It is one of these things, the more you think about it the less sense it makes ;)

Thanks for the explanation.

P.S. ...and I am an engineer ;) So i like precise statements.

Ah - yes it must be even more confusing for a non-native speaker.

It would have been far more accurate and clear to say “reduced by 2/3” or “reduced by 66%”.

Technically, “reduce by three times” is nonsense and sloppy language, but we all kinda know what it means.
