I recently noticed that Firefox for me has pretty high battery usage, more than twice of what Connect (Lemmy) has at ~75% the screen time.
Could this be because of extensions? I’m using Dark Reader and uBlock Origin

    Dark reader has lost popularity because I think its spyware now, but to the point: uB origin is super light on resources so I do not think so.

        Many “recommended” add-ons have terrible reviews because of some very negative aspect they have. And I am not talking for myself, its just the reviews. The reason I made the comment is to make people aware of it, no criticism behind.

        Yeah I’d like to know this as well as I use DarkReader on all my devices.

        I read in the past that it was hijacking page links but it transpired that people were downloading clones from unofficial sources.

        Not sure, but I read comments on the mozilla add-ons site and somewhere else. And I did not see any reason why not to uninstall it since in some sites dark reader was counter productive. Just what I read…
