Opera’s battery saving feature now available for desktop users too

After months of beta testing, Opera has finally released a polished version of its battery saver feature for desktop users. The company has claimed that keeping the battery saver feature active in the browser can increase the battery life by up to 50 percent.

Let us tell you that the new Opera Battery Saver feature will work only when the power cable is not connected to the laptop. A battery icon will appear next to the search and address fields and it will be possible to activate power saver mode through a pop up dialog box. For this you have to click on the battery icon. Users can switch on/off the battery saving feature as per their wish. The browser will also detect that the laptop’s battery is low. And will suggest to activate power saver mode.

This feature also explains the steps taken to optimize battery life. This reduces activity in the background tab. This pauses plug-ins that are not in use. This reduces the frame rate to 30 frames per second.

Opera also claims that laptop PCs stay 3 degrees cooler when the battery saver feature is activated.
