Battery life. Chrome absolutely obliterates my MBP's battery.

edit: this is the same reason I have for hating Electron apps so much.

One of my friend who is travelling moved from Chrome to Opera (!) for the battery life reason.

Opera uses Blink now, so I wouldn't expect it to be much better than Chrome.

Opera's done a lot of work on power consumption and not all of it has as of yet been upstreamed, AFAIK.

Opera would surely have less built-in botnet than Chrome, maybe that accounts for the lower power consumption ;)
