What about HTML5 video tests between the two browsers? As youtube being the one of the largest (if not _the_) video providers, it'd be interesting to see that comparison as a benchmark.

Just made a short (about 3 minutes each) youtube test on a MB Air 2014 (HTML5, full HD, fullscreen).

Result: There was a 3 Watts (roughly) difference favoring safari.

Awesome! Thank you for that!

That benchmark is more interesting to me.
