# How can I extend my laptop’s battery life while browsing?

> Extend your laptop's battery life while browsing in Comet: turn on Energy Saver and Memory Saver, adjust page preloading, and limit open tabs.

<p>You can adjust these settings by opening <b>Settings → Performance</b>,<br />or by pressing <b>⌘ ,</b> (on macOS) / <b>Ctrl ,</b> (on Windows).</p>

<hr />

<h2 id="h_14c2984a0e">1. Enable Energy Saver</h2>

<p>Comet’s <b>Energy Saver</b> limits background activity and visual effects, such as smooth scrolling and video frame rates.<br />​<b>Turn it on</b> to conserve battery when unplugged or running low on power.</p>

<hr />

<h2 id="h_8352358512">2. Use Memory Saver</h2>

<p>When <b>Memory Saver</b> is enabled, inactive tabs are temporarily paused to free up system memory.<br />They’ll automatically reload when you return to them, keeping your laptop fast and efficient.</p>

<p><b>Tip:</b> Choose <b>Balanced (recommended)</b> under <i>Memory Saver</i> for the best mix of performance and battery life.</p>

<hr />

<h2 id="h_5a75b60b03">3. Adjust Preload pages</h2>

<p>Comet can preload pages to make browsing and searching faster.<br />For best battery performance, choose <b>Standard preloading</b> or turn preloading off entirely.<br />​<b>Extended preloading</b> is faster, but it may use more data and power.</p>

<hr />

<h2 id="h_53793398d3">4. Limit open tabs</h2>

<p>Keeping too many tabs active increases memory and CPU usage.<br />Close tabs you’re not using to extend battery life.</p>

<hr />

<h2 id="h_446f444bed">5. Keep Performance issue alerts on</h2>

<p>Leave this setting enabled — it helps Comet automatically detect and suggest fixes for behaviors that may impact battery life or performance.</p>
