I would have read the article, but after a few nag-popups and ads, my laptop fan kicked on, so I closed it. Space.com is one of the few websites I care about that I would like to be a bit more browser-friendly.

> ... but after a few nag-popups and ads, my laptop fan kicked on On my Linux I have 12 workspaces or so and my main browser is always on a specific workspace. Then I configured my system to always put the CPU in "powersave" mode when I'm switching to that workspace. Actually all my workspaces besides the one where I do dev are in powersave. Fixes the fan issue. Works for GPUs too (there are tools to configure the max TDP of a GPU: even if approximative, it works). I'm also blocking ads / millions of domains at the DNS (I'm running both unbound and dnsmasq).

  How does powersave mode help here? All it does is slow everything down when you're in that workspace.

Nothing kills the reading mood faster than popups and a struggling laptop fan
