Microsoft says IE10 is more energy efficient than Chrome or
Firefox Yes, energy efficient  Ever been concerned about the
energy consumption of your web browser? Us neither, but that
hasn't stopped Microsoft from ballyhooing that stat to sway you
in favor of Internet Explorer. According to the latest tests it
commissioned from Fraunhofer USA, IE10 uses up to 18 percent
less power in browsing, Flash and HTML5 tasks than its main
rivals, Chrome and Firefox. The company claims that translates
into more than just boon for your battery life. Redmond goes so
far as to say that if every single Chrome and Firefox user
switched to IE10, it would save enough energy to power over
10,000 US homes for a year (translation: Google and Mozilla are
hurting the Earth). We can't and won't vouch for the
authenticity of that statement, but we do know that's a lot of
users we're talking about.   Microsoft says IE10 owns the
coveted 'most energy efficient browser' title
