They are, just click on it...
It is a known fact that Chromie is sucking up battery, even Safari/Firefox are better. And for Edge, they actually made and published the tests.

If it is a known fact then why do they feel the need to pester a user with this notification? And if they have done the tests why are they too shy to make them available to said pstered user right away?

It might be their own OS but this is shady behavior at best and a crime at worst.

Is it still possible to turn off the action center in Win10 to remove these "informative" suggestions to use microsoft products instead of their rivals, it's strangely worded too, 36% more browsing time,  I mean that is suggesting that it lowers the battery time as a whole by 36% of a device running a different browser even with absolutely absolutely nothing else running on the system I would find that very hard to believe.

If I'm running my tablet for just basic word processing say... but change over to gaming then I can see it take a hit like that to the battery time which it would give, but changing from one browser to the other extending a battery by almost 40% would be nuts.

 

(as for the comments about the crusade up above, pot, kettle, etc.)
