I've noticed browsers using way more battery than before. I've tried switching different browsers but it makes no difference.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

no, I've tried a few browser's and they all drain the battery, if anything the Samsung browser is the most efficient.

mine uses more than anything, I've done two factory reset's and browsers are always chewing up my battery stats.

Why your screen on for 3 hrs only 4%, mine is 13%. Our internet browser is similar, so yours is not draining battery

screen usually uses more battery, 4% seems unreasonable

I've never actually seen the Browsers (any Browser) at the top of the list of battery consumption - I had to use another battery app (GSam Battery Monitor) to even see it listed!
