Web browser energy consumption

In this paper, we present a prospective approach to save energy in web sessions. By observing energy consumption during a session, we can measure various parameters which impact on that consumption, like the size, the number and the dynamic behavior of the downloaded objects, as well as the user behavior. Thus we can present three possibilities to reduce the energy consumption: 1) a classification of web sites depending of their downloadable content, making the users aware of the session costs, 2) a better use of the web level cache, 3) a better use of the kernel mode and idle state in the user end software.
