MUI Apps use less battery than desktop apps generally. That said, Chrome has a history of being a big battery sucker.

It is a "skin" on the Win32 Chrome Browser - IIRC Google calls it Windows 8 Mode, it is not a true MUI App, it does not use WinRT its still a Win32 Application....

Yes spinachpie. In chrome, under the settings drop down, you can click "Launch in Windows 8 mode". You end up with a MUI that feel like you are in the Chrome OS.

IE in MUI mode is the most battery efficient and best user experience. Though for me I feel really gimped in it. Not having my Google integration, my favorites, my LastPass plugin, my pop-up blocker.

MUI IE should net you between 45 minutes-2 hours additional battery depending on usage....
