We've all been there: you're working on your laptop, engrossed in a project or catching up on emails, and suddenly the low battery warning pops up. 

Panic sets in as you scramble for a charger. 

But what if your browser could help you conserve power and extend your laptop's battery life? 

Here's a Cool Tip:  Use the Chrome Energy Saver feature.

Chrome's Energy Saver mode is a built-in feature designed to optimize your browsing experience when your laptop is running on battery power. 

It works by subtly limiting background activity and visual effects, reducing the strain on your laptop's resources and conserving precious battery life. 

Whether you're working remotely, traveling, or simply don't have access to a power outlet, Energy Saver mode can help you stay productive and connected for longer. 

Here's how to do it.
  1. Click the three vertical dots in the top right corner of your Chrome window.
  2. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
  3. In the Settings menu, click on "Performance" in the left sidebar. 
  4. Toggle the switch next to "Energy Saver" to turn it on.
  5. You can choose to have Energy Saver activate either "Only when my battery is at 20% or lower" or "Turn on when your computer is unplugged."
