# Simplified mode

Simplified mode is automatically enabled to save resources on low-end computers, such as those that have less than 2 GB of RAM or 1 [CPU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_processing_unit) core. This mode disables functionality that is not very critical for the user (such as background animation). Thanks to this, [Yandex Browser](https://browser.yandex.com/) works faster.

{% note info %}

You cannot force disable simplified mode.

## What happens in simplified mode {#how-works}

In simplified mode, Yandex Browser:

- Reduces the [frame rate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate) of videos and games on the page.
- Forces video card usage for video playback, conserving the resources of low-end processors that would otherwise be spent on HD video decoding.
- Disables the animations of Yandex Browser interface elements if they are too CPU-intensive. For example, animations in tooltips.
- Disables the [background](https://browser.yandex.by/help/en/personalization/change-background.md#low-battery) animation.
- Disables “transparency” of interface elements (for example, the top bar no longer uses the main color of the open site).
- Reduces the activity of the background tabs (for example, the frequency of auto-refresh).
- Restores only the active tab when you restart Yandex Browser.
