AVG Battery Saver

We’ve supercharged the browser to give you an even faster browsing experience. Tabs that you’re not using will be automatically suspended in the background depending on your computer’s available memory. Why? Because we’ve found it can reduce the amount of CPU and RAM the browser uses by as much as 50%. You can control these settings from the Performance Manager section in the browser settings page. Your browser can often be a drain on your laptop battery. We’ve worked on some clever tweaks under the hood to make sure our browser uses less CPU and RAM when you’re running low on battery. This can extend your battery life up to 20%, which means you won’t have to reach for that charging cable as often. The settings to extend the battery life can be managed from the Performance Manager section in the browser settings page.

Amphetamine is a macOS utility designed to keep your computer awake by overriding the system’s default sleep and screen saver behavior, giving users full control over when and how their Mac stays active. It operates through a simple on/off switch in the menu bar, allowing users to instantly start a “keep-awake” session that can run indefinitely, for a set duration, until a specific time, or while conditions such as file downloads or app usage are active. During these sessions, users can choose to prevent display sleep, disable the screen saver, keep the system awake even when the lid is closed, or allow selective behaviors like display sleep while the system continues running. One of its most powerful features is its automation system, which uses customizable triggers to activate or deactivate based on events such as connecting to Wi-Fi networks, using specific apps, plugging in external devices, reaching certain battery levels, or hitting CPU usage thresholds.
