    Hi Jacoui, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.

    I believe it is a setting within Chrome that's enabling the Efficiency mode. You can go to Chrome Settings > Performance and turn off Memory Saver and Energy Saver and see if that helps.

    As mentioned, i've tried this. It doesn't work for the entire application (see picture) since only a few subprocesses are being run in efficiency mode.

    And when I do this for those sub-processes, it will revert back to efficiency mode within a few minutes.
