If you don't mind using 2-3 times more ram, there is Chrome. You could also give Waterfox a go. I'm using that currently and outside of Google not getting their act together by making a 64 bit Google Voice plugin, it runs fine.

the other options rn are chromium and ie and maybe this waterfox you speak of. chrome looks horrible on 3200x1800.

Waterfox is basically 64bit built from the ground up Firefox. All your settings, bookmarks, plugins ect from Firefox will automatically be transferred to Waterfox if you choose to try it.

Dunno about battery, but it's a lot more efficient than Chrome with the resources. We're talking Chrome taking up 6GB of ram vs 3.xGB with Waterfox with my surfing habits with tabs. Doesn't hurt to try and see.
