This makes both of these browsers terrible for your battery. <strong>You can always choose another browser<\/strong> \u2014 one a bit more battery friendly. So, what\u2019s available?

While you should expect this, specific tasks and apps use more system resources than others.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The browsers and websites you use are filled with graphics and may store browsing history and other data. <strong>Many browsers keep running in the background long after you close the window. <\/strong>They also use previously saved data to make recommendations based on past searches. The sheer amount of graphics, interactive content, video, cookies, extensions, and other <strong>web content generated in browsers make your system work overtime<\/strong> \u2014 reducing your battery power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, <strong>the more browser windows you leave open, the harder your CPU has to work <\/strong>\u2014 creating more strain on your battery. The CPU\u2019s design allows it to reach optimum efficiency quickly, but the immediate boost needed significantly reduces battery power and may cause your device to overheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/buy-vpn-online?conversionpoint=ios_browsers\"><button class=\"bg-btn-1\"> Get PIA VPN<\/button><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"friendly\"><strong>The 7 Most Battery-Friendly iOS Browsers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s check out some<strong> battery-friendly browsers to keep you online for longer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"edge\"><strong>1.

It offers <em>InPrivate<\/em> tabs,<strong> <\/strong>which means it doesn\u2019t store your browsing data. <strong>Efficiency Mode allows you to reduce the amount of power you use while browsing.<\/strong> You also get in-browser tracking prevention and plenty of extensions to help reduce power usage \u2014 including AdBlock.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The extension <strong>stops ads, pop-ups, trackers, and malware \u2014 all of which clog up your device<\/strong>,<strong> <\/strong>slow load times, and can eventually drain your battery. Bear in mind, though, the more extensions you download and install, the harder your device has to work. Using fewer browser extensions on iOS, or any operating system, helps save battery power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"firefox\"><strong>2. Firefox<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/RFJZlqABWdXYg499kwa68p8RP73hAqN58WSb52AEaftJ2bqD49VdcjQCNYqChnPT8aK6Rfq1WGpjE6HMy2hvIUbwW5HiCgIyvd92Bgir78PQdKWh648Bb6J3F85HFLUx4PDYWieU4zNNEqp0e70uA1M\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:500px\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: none\"><strong>\u2705 Pros<\/strong>: Anti-ad tracking technology and uses fewer battery resources<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: none\"><strong>\u26d4 Cons<\/strong>: Large visual tabs and some features are battery-intensive<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mozilla\u2019s classic browser is available for iOS and it includes its famous anti-ad tracking technology. The <strong>tracking tech reduces the amount of system resources needed to generate web pages<\/strong>, so it helps conserve battery power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firefox is designed to use fewer battery resources without losing speed, but some of its features are power-hungry. The option for large visual tabs makes browsing a bit easier, but it\u2019s worth keeping in mind that <strong>larger visuals require your GPU and CPU to work harder<\/strong> \u2014 which is a drain on your battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"opera\"><strong>3.

It even has <strong>a Battery Saver feature to extend your battery<\/strong> when your device is unplugged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Server <strong>locations on the VPN are extremely limited <\/strong>and speeds aren\u2019t the best. Opera VPN only provides regional IPs in Asia, North and South America, and Europe. If you want fast browsing speeds in a designated country, consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/buy-vpn-online?conversionpoint=ios_browsers\"><strong>downloading an iOS VPN<\/strong><\/a> with a high-speed and large server network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"focus\"><strong>4.

The <em>Trash Can <\/em>button in the browser allows you to <strong>erase your browser history and other temporary files like cookies with one click<\/strong> \u2014 freeing up much-needed space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you use Apple Focus with Firefox\u2019s Focus compatibility feature, you take up more system resources (e.g. CPU and GPU). Using one over the other, instead of both, will reduce battery use.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"duck\"><strong>5.

Its <strong><em>Fire<\/em><\/strong><strong> button automatically closes all the browser tabs you have open and clears your browsing history<\/strong>, making it a quick way to take pressure off your CPU and GPU.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The browser also <strong>blocks third-party trackers and doesn\u2019t track or monitor searches<\/strong>, meaning it uses fewer resources. On the downside, DuckDuckGo uses animations to illustrate various browser actions (e.g. deleting browsing history and closing multiple tabs), which require more power to generate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"orion\"><strong>6.

The Low Power Mode suspends tabs you haven\u2019t used in the last five minutes, reducing the pressure on your system resources <strong>without having to close every browser window<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>browser has an ad and tracker blocker <\/strong>to prevent malicious software from infecting or slowing down your device.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You also have<strong> the ability to use biometric data to lock tabs. <\/strong>While this is definitely an interesting concept, these types of tools require a fair amount of system resources to operate. Only use biometric tools when absolutely necessary to help conserve your battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dolphin\"><strong>7.

It\u2019s a simple browser overall, but it does have a couple of interesting features. For example, it allows you to <strong>control the browser by shaking the device or using basic voice commands.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, using <strong>the browser\u2019s enhanced features require more system resources <\/strong>(e.g. voice commands and motion activation), so your battery might drain faster. If you\u2019re low on power, it\u2019s best to limit the number of features you use until you can charge your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"browsers\"><strong>Browsers Don\u2019t Have to Be A Drain on iOS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just because Safari is iOS\u2019s default browser doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s the best option for saving battery power. Similarly, Chrome is a data and battery drain despite its overall popularity. <strong>Luckily, you have other browser options<\/strong> \u2014 many of which use fewer system resources and offer unique battery-saving features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out any of the best iOS browsers we mentioned above to <strong>start reducing your battery usage and stay connected longer.<\/strong> Who knows?
