This isn't an apples-to-oranges comparison -- Google and Microsoft are using different video services, and Microsoft also touches on web surfing power consumption that isn't mentioned here.

The only definitive conclusion is that the latest Chrome release is more battery-friendly than the version you were using several months ago. It could be worth revisiting Chrome if you were burned by its previous energy demands, but something tells us this won't change many minds.
