@Vlad, I'm commenting here vs. opening up a new issue.

It would be nice to have options for low power mode like we do in Microsoft Edge:

Maybe house it under Preferences > General in Orion?

    Vlad Add an option to auto-enable Low Power Mode when on battery (and auto-disable when connected to charger).

        yokoffing Please provide exact specification for this setting text, placement, available options and default value. Whenever possible, do not make us think 🙂

            I am commenting here as well. It shows that Orion is using a lot of battery power just watching a basic Twitch.TV live stream. My safari also seems to be same in terms of battery and speed. All the features mentioned above would help dramatically (MS Edge and macOS Battery features). I am not sure what else to suggest better than what they have already mentioned.

              mockup with html:

              makes sense for "Never" to be the default, and it should be topmost

              "low battery" can be, say 20%

                  eirk Thank you this is very helpful!

                  It can be like this:
                  Low power mode: [Manual, Always, Unplugged, Unplugged and low battery]

                  What happens when Low power mode is to trigger, for example setting being Unplugged and they unplug? Any UI indication?

                  What happens if setting is Always and use manualy turns it off via Tools -> Low power mode?

                      orion can send a normal macos notification saying "low power mode turned on/off", to notify the user, maybe with a description saying "batter percentage is low" or "device was plugged in"

                      the option set in settings should be used as the baseline option, and then further configured through user's manual setting
                      so, if the user wants to change the setting to what orion isn't supposed to be (as defined in the settings), warn the user if they try to turn it on/off when it shouldn't be, then do what the user wants to do. revert to normal settings next time orion starts, or if an event like plug/unplug affects it

                        It would be nice to have this feature, similar to how Edge implements it. I think it would make a huge difference, especially on older devices.

                          Merged 2 posts from "Low Power Mode" that automatically suspends tabs after X minutes and/or reduces motion to save battery life.

                            Vlad I would like to add to this suggestion, that it would be a great feature for those with aging batteries. I am on an M1 MBP, and my battery life is in the 80's now. So, a full-charge doesn't last as long as it used.
                            Knowing my browser will automatically go into low-power mode when I unplug would give an added peace of mind.
                            Thanks, Dan.
