Re: Screensaver interrupts fullscreen Firefox videos - Şerban S. - 03-06-2024
I'm just asking...
Is the screensaver such a critical program?
I never use screensavers. They suck a lot of resources (computing power) to do... What? Nothing?
I could never understand the use of this.
Save what? Do what? Show images while I'm away from the computer? Again: while I'm away from the computer?
Why would I bother?
But, as always: The client is always right!
Anyway...
If you think this is such a critical piece of software, try tweaking the parameters of the screensaver itself. If it is a serious software, it has at least some such parameters like "Never show when watching video."
As for the internal parameters setting , they work exactly as you described: from time to time. I assume that interrupting video, is kinda "bonus feature", although, unsolicited...
This story goes backwards as far as when I started to use Linux: 1997. I presume that some people find it very funny, since no one bothered to fix this in over 25 years...
Best regards
