Hi, i'm recently switch from windows and i'm not familiar with both Macbook & Macos, i'm running the lasted 10.15 official version now, i noticed the battery kinda not the same as Apple introduce ( around 9-10 hours )
- If i'm using safari to watch youtube and light tasks, it's kinda hit 7 hours to 10%, but if i'm using Chrome the battery run down so fast, only like 3.5 or 4.5 hours to reach 10%. I don't know if those battery experiences are normal or not, can anyone kindly confirm ?
- One more thing, i noticed the quality of videos on youtube when you watch on Safari is so much lower than Chrome one, even at same resolution setting, anyone know why ? and how to solve it ?

mine is MBP 15 i9, thanks.

regarding the battery life issue. Make sure you close all unwanted apps and I hope you have disabled sending usage habits and diagnostics to Apple and in any app you've installed (if it offered that feature anyway)

If you do lots of videos on chrome try this extension or use this app
