Option to disable/enable all CPU/GPU/RAM/battery/power/etc. hoggy animations/transitions/eye-candy things/etc. will be nice, especially for mobiles, laptops and low end PCs. We can also: - increase value of "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" preference in "about:config" - pause all activity in background tabs (except music) - enable click-to-play mode for plugins - reschedule JavaScript timers (fired coalescently and less frequently = less time CPU is woken up) - tune video-playback parameters (e.g. to get video in H.264 instead VP8/9, if user has H.264 acceleration but not VP8/9, like still probably most of PCs; using SD/LQ instead of HD/HQ video) - disable smooth scrolling - limit FPS to 30 - limit/disable data gathering - change Persona/Light Theme/Theme/Appearance to Dark and change probably many other things to get better time on battery and be faster on low end PCs. Opera has for example feature named "Battery saver" [1][2] [1] = http://help.opera.com/opera/Windows/2393/en/viewPages.html#batterySaver [2] = https://www.opera.com/computer/features/battery-saver [3] = https://www.opera.com/blogs/desktop/2016/05/introducing-power-saving-mode/ [4] = http://www.opera.com/blogs/desktop/2016/06/over-the-edge/

I think this is a great idea! At the same time, it also sounds like a pretty big effort to get right (so that battery saving mode doesn't leave users in a bad state). Peter, I think you and I talked about something like this at some point. When do you think something like this would fit on our product roadmap?

Looks like Peter Dolanjski [:pdol] and Philipp Sackl [:phlsa] Bugzilla accounts are disabled, so I'm dropping needinfo? request.
@ Justin Dolske [:Dolske] - As triage owner, do you know who could take this over? Thank you very much in advance!
