Odd behaviour, you have something wrong with your device.
My consumption averages 2.5%...2.8% drop per hour with light-moderate use (some email, bit of browsing, few SMS'es)

Good. So it isn't just me suffering from silly battery drain times

It was like this for me in U10. Brilliant battery life, even with moderate use I'd get 3 days easily on a single charge. Now, it's extremely erratic. Sometimes it can be good, just how it was before. Other times, I check my phone for the time, and it's gone down 7% in 25 minutes (not an exaggeration).

And my battery is at 95% of original capacity, so it's not that.

I think keeping the browser open does effect it hugely, but I don't understand why now, as it didn't before. Even having MeeCast open (for the tile) drains it more than it used to. A result of the new OOM handling / OS not being allowed to kill processes as it did before?

Anyways, it has become quite bad - when I got 30% of battery, I can be almost sure the battery will run out during the 25mins way home.
Consider yourself lucky. My battery is at 85% original calacity and when the charge drops to 30%, odds are about 3:1 that the phone will spontaneusly reboot. When it does, it remains in a boot loop until I put it on a charger or until the battery drains completely, which is usually about 5 minutes. U11 has nothing to do with it though.

I have not noticed any difference in battery drain myself. It has always lasted about a day of my average use (no calls or texts, no 3G, background email check every 30 minutes, some browsing in the evening) - or up to three days if left alone and not used at all.

I do not use the default browser though. There are more usable alternatives. U11 with its icons for bookmarks was the final nail in the coffin.

You should try to clean the battery contacts. It looks like this fixed the shutdown and reboot issues for me completely. I cleaned the contacts two months ago and did not have a single shutdown or reboot since then.

I fixed all my shutdown and reboot issues by stuffing a piece of paper behind the battery so that it presses on the contact leads more firmly. Kinda reminds one of the old creaky Nokias that could be fixed in a similar way to stop creaking.

I had used the paper trick before, but I removed the paper. It looks like cleaning the contacts did a way better job in my case than the piece of paper. YMMV.

My Jolla hardly goes below 50% battery in one day.
On a typical work day in the office, I have it lying on the desk idle most of the time, but with browser, e-mail apps, securefishnet (OpenVPN connection) and often one or two more apps open, just checking from time to time, and making a few phonecalls (maybe 30min in total).
This is in an area with really bad mobile signal (I have to place my phone - any phone, not just the jolla - on the right spot on my desk to get any signal at all) but using work wifi.
I usually have around 70% battery left after 10-11hours.

Of course battery drains faster when I actively use the phone - browsing on "heavy" sites and watching videos makes battery drain visible.

But I can't complain about battery life at all.
