This is reallly a interesting discovery with the bug in the source code. Now over time I have used Chrome but I did not observe a significant drain on my battery (laptop) However..............don't you wonder why Chrome has not fixed this issue and they were aware of it??

If you've been wondering why the battery life on your Windows laptop or tablet seems so lousy, your Chrome web browser might be to blame – and it may have been sapping your system's juice for years.
A documented bug in the source code for the Chromium open source project seems to account for the mysterious power drain that some users of Google's web browser have been experiencing.

Which web browser do you use? If it is Google Chrome, then you may be required to keep your battery chargers ON more often than before. As a laptop user you will be surprised to hear that Google Chrome on Microsoft Windows is actually exhausting your laptop’s battery more than normal. You may have not realized, but the browser is actually consuming more of your laptop’s battery than other browsers like IE or Mozilla.
The solution to this problem is that either you stop using Chrome browser and move to other options like Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
However, Google has finally paid attention to the bug and have assigned Chrome team to fix it on a priority basis.
