I downloaded the latest version of Opera this weekend after a lot of frustration with Chrome's drain on my Mac's battery life. Man was I shocked. It uses the same engine as Chrome (Blink) but somehow manages to double the amount of battery life on my machine. I could never get more than three hours on my Retina MBP before I tried it.

And it supports Chrome extensions, to boot.



If only Opera had built-in Flash, I would consider this more. Too many sites require Flash still sadly.
