Title:Energy Efficiency of Web Browsers in the Android Ecosystem
View PDFAbstract:This paper presents an empirical study regarding the energy consumption of the most used web browsers on the Android ecosystem. In order to properly compare the web browsers in terms of energy consumption, we defined a set of typical usage scenarios to be replicated in the different browsers, executed in the same testing environment and conditions. The results of our study show that there are significant differences in terms of energy consumption among the considered browsers. Furthermore, we conclude that some browsers are energy efficient in several user actions, but energy greedy in other ones, allowing us to conclude that no browser is universally more efficient for all usage scenarios.
