Description

Brave Dev requires the High-Performance GPU while Chrome / Safari do not. This can be a big drain on battery life.

Activity Monitor comparison:

Expected result:

Brave should use low-energy internal GPU for rendering by default for efficiency.

Reproduces how often:

Every Launch

Brave version (chrome://version info)

Just another datapoint: disabling Hardware acceleration resolves this. We probably want internal GPU hardware acceleration though.

Brave 0.68.139 Chromium: 77.0.3865.90, still suffers from the same issue. Maybe this reappeared at some point or a compilation flag was missed.
