So I agree. It’s natural. I come around here every week, it’s in my top sites (under Safari).

On mac it’s quite the opposite, except for Opera, I’ve made some tests on battery and about the heat of the CPU too, the best for Mac, is Safari which don’t use a lot of battery and don’t make the MacBook Pro hot. The worst was Firefox, and about Chrome and Opera it’s quite the same.

7hours with Safari, about 5hours for Opera and Chrome and 4hours with Safari.

While this is true, I suspect the same results would be found if run on Macs, though the numbers may change a bit.

My friends, the study says specifically that the computers used for are PCs, not macs.

So the results cannot mean anything about the Safari, Firefox, Chrome and Opera performance on Mac OS X
