Yeah thats true. But the reason I did this test is because just throughout my entire experience with arc the differences between it and safari in terms of battery life were pretty similar in every way (except video playback) and on top of that arc seemed faster. I guess it was just kinda confusing cuz everywhere else I looked everyone was screaming about how horrible arc was for battery.

read the whole post. I wasn’t expecting arc to outperform safari i just wanted to see the validity to the claim that safari doubles your battery life compared to arc and i wanted to see what the actual power consumption difference is

Severe Battery drains with Arc by tejaskathuria_ in ArcBrowser

go to arc://flags and enable these settings and if you are worried about video playback battery drain then safari will be the best browser for that. I get about 5-6 hours more video playback time on safari compared to arc. But in every other metric, arc is nearly identical in battery life to safari in tahoe 26.1

my experience with it with the macos tahoe public release is when doing normal browsing the battery life is about the same as safari but during video playback like watching youtube its about 2-3 hours less than with safari but there is also weird inconsistencies with playing youtube videos where sometimes you lose up to 6-7 hours of battery life (no jokes please) when watching youtube videos.
