Interesting flag in the latest Dev build
#disable-media-indicator-in-power-save-modeI think it should be not simply disabled (because no indication at all in this case) but changed to static and it should work not only in power save mode.
Maybe the option must in browser Settings in user interface section, some 'disable media indicator animation' toggle.

Twitch was using about 30% of my CPU per screen. I'm not going to go into detail or lay out my specs but I did find a way to fix my problem.
Make sure hardware acceleration is enabled or this won't work
(If you can't find hardware acc, go here opera://settings and type in "hardware acceleration")
Go to opera://flags/#ignore-gpu-blocklist
Enable that setting, relaunch and you should be good.
I think someone above already answered this but I was unable to find this setting using their instructions.I really hope this helps cause I've been having to stress over this for about 2 weeks and it feels good to be back at minimal CPU usage.

How to set battery saver to be always On? It goes to Off when Opera restarts...

@marjang Hi, here in the latest Opera stable (77.0.4054.146), when I enable it in settings, it remains enabled after I close and relaunch the browser.
What's your Opera version?, if not the latest one, perhaps update to it and see if this helps.

@l33t4opera Thanks, i have same version. Battery saver goes to off when Opera restarts. I don't have laptop, it is regular PC... Is that the problem?

@marjang Same here.
But I don't use battery saver because it also limits PC's resources (If I don't mistake). I use only .h264 extension suggested by @l33t4opera and currently the performance is acceptable.
I hope in future they'll finally introduce the option in Settings to disable the animation not only in power save mode. -

@marjang I see, so it seems to be the issue, that you try to use battery saver on desktop, where there's no battery available.
Also, as @andrew84 wrote, the option to turn off the animation should be available regardless of whether a user is using the battery saving feature or not. I can't tell you if Opera's devs are already working on it, or if it is even planned, because I am one of the users and not an Opera employee.
I think you will get a better answer, if you ask about it on the blog. -

True. Frames are skipping badly on youtube with battery saver, unfortunately. Not perfect solution, but i still use it on fanless PC, so that it does not overheat.

The new flag really helps, I checked.
