Power saving mode

Power saving mode in Yandex Browser for Mobile saves your battery charge and gives you one extra hour of tablet use.

What’s happening

In this mode, Yandex Browser optimizes energy consumption. For example:

• Reduces activity of the background tabs.

• Enables the reader mode.

• Uses hardware video codecs instead of VP9 and VP8.

• Disables the parallaxparallax effect for the background when opening a new tab screen.

Enabling and disabling

Yandex Browser turns on power saving mode when the battery charge drops to the level specified in the settings (default is 20%). The  icon appears to the right of the SmartBox.

Note

By default, power saving mode is turned off when you start charging your tablet.
