Performance
Optimize browser speed and reduce data usage for faster, more efficient browsing.
Data Saver
Reduce data usage by compressing images and deferring non-essential resources.
- Default: Off
- Effect: Images are loaded at lower quality, saving bandwidth
- Best for: Slow connections, limited data plans
- Trade-off: Slightly lower image quality
What Data Saver Does
- Compresses images before downloading
- Defers loading of non-critical resources
- Reduces video quality on autoplay
- Blocks large background downloads
Lazy Image Loading
Load images only when they're about to be viewed (scrolled into the viewport).
- Default: Off
- Effect: Images below the fold don't load until you scroll to them
- Benefit: Faster initial page load, less data usage
- Trade-off: Brief loading delay when scrolling to images
Hardware Acceleration
Use GPU acceleration for rendering web content.
- Default: On
- Effect: Smoother scrolling and animations
- Benefit: Better performance on graphics-heavy sites
- Trade-off: May cause issues on some older devices
Note: If you experience display glitches or crashes, try disabling hardware acceleration.
Auto Picture-in-Picture for Video
Automatically enter Picture-in-Picture mode when navigating away from a page with playing video.
- Default: Off
- Effect: Video continues in floating window while you browse
- Works with: YouTube, Vimeo, and most HTML5 video players
- Control: Tap the PiP window to expand or close
