How to Enable or Disable Battery Saver for Opera browser

Opera Browser is one of the most convenient and easy-to-use browsers in the tech world. It has a high demand among Gen-Z due to its speed, compatibility, and effectiveness.

It is a known fact that a browser is used for various activities throughout the day. From browsing social media to listening to music, a browser is compatible with everything. This also means it drains your battery life immensely when not connected to a power source.

Opera has launched a new feature that helps in saving the battery life of your laptop or computer. The battery saver has been launched for Opera computers to reduce the drainage of the battery. It prolongs your computer’s battery life and stops it from getting heated unnecessarily.

The Opera claims to increase the battery up to 50% for browsing when the energy-saving mode is active.

Why use Opera battery saver?

Besides saving battery drainage, the Opera battery saver can be effective during summer as it prevents your computer from getting heated. It has been tried and tested. The computer without the battery saver got heated unnecessarily and experienced data loss or random blue screens.

The computer with the battery saver turned on was saved from overheating, crashing, or going behind unnecessarily. It kept the computer up to 3°C cooler.

However, we might need to make a few compromises regarding display resolutions and animation effects as battery savers suppress these features to extend life. It also stops all the browser’s background activities, reducing overall performance.

Enable or Disable Battery Saver on Opera

The battery saver can be highly effective for your laptop or computer. The steps for enabling the battery saver on your computer are straightforward. Follow these steps:

1. Launch the Opera Browser on the computer.
2. Unplug the power source to see the Battery icon in the toolbar on the Address bar’s right side.
3. Click on the battery icon to pop up the battery saver window.
4. Enable the toggle button for the Battery Saver option.
   

That’s it, you have successfully activated the battery saver mode on your computer and enjoy using your browser for longer than usual battery time.

There are a few customization options for battery-saver settings that you can configure from Opera’s Settings page under the Battery Saver section, OR click on the Gear icon appearing in the Battery Saver pop-up to take you to the settings section.

You can enable the toggle to select when the battery saver should be activated, whether you want it activated immediately when unplugged or at 80%, 50%, or 20% of the battery automatically.

You can also enable the toggle button to always show the battery icon on the toolbar, irrespective of the power source.

To disable the battery saver on the Opera browser, keep the ‘Enable battery saver’ toggle turned off in the Settings page under the Battery Saver section.

Bottom Line

Battery Saver mode is one of the most compelling features of the Opera browser. The feature works great for the summer season when your computer is exposed to overheating more than ever and consumes heavy battery power.

Battery savers also keep your computer from crashing unnecessarily and developing bugs. Opera claims its feature helps save battery and browser up to 50% longer. Perhaps, you should try it for yourself.

A similar feature as Energy Saver mode is also available on the Chrome browser.
