I was just thinking if you are on your computer anyway would it just use some of the excess electricity that your computer would have wasted or would it be worse than charging your phone from a charger while using your laptop separately.

    Unless your chargers are generating a noticeable amount of heat (and they shouldn’t be), the amount of electricity they are using is simply negligible. Electricity cannot simply evaporate into thin air.
