Battery is draining too fast with safari (alien.top)

Hey! So I've had my MacBook Air 15'' for about 2 months now, and in the past week and a half I noticed the battery is draining way too fast, to the point where using safari for 3-4 hours would result in losing about 70-80% of the battery. I'm talking about light internet surfing without doing anything too drastic. Not many videos, not many pictures in websites etc.

I tried contacting Apple and they've said they can't find any problem (haven't been physically in a store yet, living very far from any).

Anyone's got any idea of why this happens?

​

This is with low power mode on, which is even more ridiculous.

What websites are you visiting?

I don’t see any problem here?

Safari doesn’t appear to be using a lot of energy—49.96 is nothing compared to the numbers I’ve seen for Chrome, Arc, etc. which can be in the hundreds or higher.

Also, from the battery graph before you plugged in your laptop, it looks like you lost 20% in about 2.5-3 hours, which is very different from losing 70-80% in 3-4 hours.
