Automatically enable power saver on battery power

Hiding the power saver icon when plugged in (by default - can be switched in Settings) is good, as there is less of a need to save charge.

On the other end, enabling power saver automatically when switching to battery power would save 3 clicks, and just be more convenient. I understand this might not be desired by some users, so this can be made optional like the mentioned case with hiding the icon.

Opinions?

Agreed! I assumed at first they had this option in the settings somewhere, only to learn that they haven't made it an option! I think a common sense feature moving forward is to have Power Saver on automatically when on battery power.

Very much agree.

I'd argue that while enabling Power Saver automatically on battery power should be an option, it should be opt-in because it modifies background tab behaviour.

I agree too.
I expected it was the standard behavior of the feature once I saw the post on the Blog for the first time.

Common-sensical (always wanted to use that word).

Agreed! It's frustrating when I'm on battery power for some time and then just realize the battery saver is turned off

Maybe 'Save battery automatically' is for this?

@leocg, I haven't seen a "Save battery automatically" option. Is it available in the developer browser?

And in Beta too.
