How to Enable Energy Saver in Google Chrome

Google Chrome is a popular web browser made by Google. It is very similar to Microsoft Edge in how it works. This guide shows you how to use the Energy Saver feature.

Why use Energy Saver?

Computers often run out of power quickly when many programs are open. Energy Saver helps your laptop battery last longer by limiting background activity. It automatically turns on when your battery is low.
