Are you willing to give some examples of “light Web browsing” because I can’t recall (m)any nowadays.
In other words, six hours of constant/frequent (modern) Web surfing does not seem strongly unreasonable/poor.
EDIT:
Even though Apple claims:
Looking further over your screenshot, “Time on battery” is 11:14 and estimated runtime remaining is 3:24. And, unless I’m mistaken, that would imply ~14 hours of runtime (not 6) with Safari being the vast majority of usage.
…. I didn’t realize @Apple_Robert already pointed this out.

Even though Apple claims:
That’s “up to” and there are plenty of factors. As already pointed out.
THere’s also Wi-Fi strength, other apps (e.g., it does appear you had VSCode open at least at some point), etc.

What is the screen brightness set to? Time on battery shows 11hrs. If the time shown is accurate, that means the Mac will get 14hrs of battery usage which, is not unreasonable.
