Caprine on macOS requiring high performance GPU 100% of the time
I just recently got a new MacBook Pro 2016 (up from a MacBook Air), and now Caprine is requiring the high performance GPU to be on 100% of the time, which significantly reduces battery life. As my MacBook Air didn't have a discrete GPU, I don't know if this is a new issue.
I believe this is actually an issue with Facebook Messenger on Chrome, not Caprine itself, as when I opened m.me in Chrome, it made Chrome start using the dGPU. However, opening m.me in Safari doesn't force the dGPU.
I'm wondering if there is a way that we could disable Caprine from ever using the dGPU, as I don't see a reason it should ever need it, except maybe for the new games.
