[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1524709, member: 24098"] Reviving this old thread as I am once again, doing my annual browser switch, trying to get away from Firefox. Interestingly, it seems that Google has done a bit of work with Chrome on the Mac in terms of power consumption. I can now run it without forcing GfxCardStatus into Integrated graphics mode. While I have seen it switch over to the discrete GPU here and there, it quickly switches back on standard pages and the battery life is starting to compare well to Firefox and Safari. [/QUOTE]
