Supposedly, this ASUS Zenbook 14 should get up to 6 hours of battery life on Win11, but it drains from 80 to 25% in a few hours of just browsing. How can I improve it?

Use autocpu-freq.

on power: powerful
on battery: battery saver

My laptop battery life became much longer with no heavy performance effects.

And Check this out for how to limit battery changing to 80%: https://maniacx.github.io/Battery-Health-Charging/device-compatibility

finally, install powertop and switch to tunables tab and tweak appropiately. Becareful, you might make youre laptop unstable&laggy with powertop!!!
