Re: Great

"Seriously how many people are going to put battery life based on browsing before security and configurations features."

The great masses are quite unaware that the browser can be configured beyond changing the starting page, and know nothing about security. Most seem to use whatever browser is the current default - I've seen cases where Chrome was inadvertently installed in place of IE/FF and it didn't bother the user since it imported the bookmarks.

Opera was (still is?) pretty secure and configurable yet its user base was minuscule. Each Chrome update brings plenty of security patches and is only somewhat more configurable than Edge. Chrome is at the moment the most popular browser AFAIK. I think both these points contradict your argument.
