A future Google Chrome update could let websites prevent your phone’s screen from powering down automatically.
Chrome already prevents power-saving options kicking in if you’re streaming video from a site like YouTube or Netflix, but according to a report by BleepingComputer, it’s possible that other sites could soon be offered the same ability.
This could be done using the WakeLock API, a developer function, which lets sites request that the device suspend power-saving features like shutting down the display after when there’s no input from the user.
