Battery usage (lemmy.ml)

Really enjoy using this app, & as an Android user, the iOS theme is a nice departure. Only minor gripe would be the battery usage, its quite a bit higher than most of the other apps I've tried. I realise the Android app release is new, so could possibly be optimised a bit more down the road? Thanks for the app, its a winner.👍🏼

Sure, so if you choose a browser with a particular bad rendering engine it may give worse performance or battery life compared to the app-packaged version, which uses the system's built-in webview (Google Chrome engine in most cases) for rendering. If you're using a Chromium-based browser to open the web version it should perform just about identical to the app-packaged version since they're the same code and then also executing in the same rendering engine.

That's all very well, but I wasnt actually comparing the android app to the pwa, its quite understandable that they would be comparable in their efficiency...

I know your original post was talking about Voyager vs other apps you've tried but the whole reason we're this deep in the comment chain is because someone was talking about using Voyager for over a month and you said you're talking about the Android app that came out more recently. If you don't want to compare the PWA vs Android app versions of Voyager, what are we even doing here?

Probably best leave it there then..
