Do you have some ideas what energy saving mode would do?

1 Minimizing browser animations.

  1. Reducing the activity of the lashes that are not being used,
  2. example when viewing videos external processes are used these external processes but linked to the application can be closed or paused and only if the user reopens or recharges them back into operation.

These 3 points would be the initials for this feature while entering into an investigation on how to help extend the useful life of the battery, since the browser is an indispensable application when searching the Internet

  1. CSS animations could be disabled like so: transition: none !important; animation: none !important.
  2. They're called tabs in English. We could look into unloading existing tabs after n seconds if there's no unsaved data.
  3. Unsure about videos... some websites save the state so you can re-load and continue from where you left off, many don't. I think we'll need some concrete examples to see what's feasible.
