New patch of Cromite browser to enbale by default energy battery saver #660

Open trimechee opened 2 months ago

trimechee commented 2 months ago

Hello Mr @Alex313031 and Mr @gz83, how are you ?

It seems that Cromite Browser in the last update has achieved the sensational extraordinary great feat of making the "energy battery saver" option active by default even when plugged in even without battery on a desktop computer in order to preserve our battery and energy and the ecology and avoid fan noisy and expensive electricity bill....

We hope our beloved Thorium browser will be able to implement this option even when plugged in because this battery saver option is disabled when plugged in in Thorium browser, thank you so much :)

It seems the patch author has his reasons.

trimechee commented 1 month ago

Yes ! However, I spoke at length with the author to explain my request so that Thorium could easily implement this patch but apparently, the author took a completely opposite direction to my wish to let users enable the battery saver energy even when plugged in :(

nowadays we can stay for hours in front of our computer, our planet is suffocating, resources are lacking, energy is expensive with the war in Ukraine....it's sad.....

this will push us to use microsoft edge browser which allows us to activate energy saver even when plugged in, or firefox where we can completely and easily deactivate session store and save our ssd....

I suspect if you're using Edge, it's going to be more power hungry anyway, they have worse profdata, more ads, and lower performance. And Firefox is even more crap, they don't enable hardware acceleration by default.
