Power saving mode

Power saving mode in Yandex Browser saves the battery. You can work almost an hour longer in this mode on battery power.

How does power saving mode work?

Today, internet browsers are one of the most popular types of software. People use browsers to receive and send emails, make purchases online, play games, listen to music, and watch movies. You may open dozens of sites in the browser at the same time, and most of them are probably full-fledged web applications requiring significant memory and power resources. If you are operating your laptop on battery power, the browser load makes it run low on power faster.

Enable the power saving mode to prevent your laptop battery from draining too fast. In this mode, Yandex Browser:

• Reduces activity of the background tabs.
• Always uses the graphics card to play videos.
• Reduces the FPS of the pages.
• Disables interface animations if they're too CPU intensive.
• Disables the background animation.
• disables video playback in high quality (1080p and higher).
