When I'm on Gamefaqs, my phone's battery drains something like 30% faster than if I'm on another website... It's a substantial and noticeable difference.

So, Gamefaqs, what exactly are you doing with this extra battery power you're syphoning off?

You guys are up to something, and I'm going to find out what it is.

If you have an OLED phone turn on GameFAQs dark mode. Darker pixels are actually unlit on an OLED and take up less battery.

LED screens don't care about that.

Doesn't explain why GFAQs suck my battery harder than other websites. Some shady shit going on here. Someone's up to something, or at least in cahoots with the electric company...

White screen, more light and pixels active, uses more battery
Gamefaqs is all white design, so makes it uses battery alot

But like, compared to other sites with comparable designs? Also with lots of white pixels?
I don't want to be fueling anyone's scientific experiments and shit
