RPM Browser: Fast, Secure Browsing for Power Users

Top 10 Tips and Extensions to Supercharge RPM Browser

1. Use a lightweight ad‑blocker

• Why: Blocks trackers and ads, reduces CPU and memory use.
• Suggested extension: uBlock Origin (configurable filters).

2. Enable hardware acceleration

• Why: Offloads rendering to GPU for smoother scrolling and video playback.
• How: Toggle in RPM Browser settings → System → Hardware acceleration.

3. Install a privacy-focused tracker blocker

• Why: Prevents cross-site tracking while keeping pages functional.
• Suggested extension: Privacy Badger or Disconnect.

4. Add a session/tab manager

• Why: Restore workspaces, save tab groups, reduce memory by unloading inactive tabs.
• Suggested extension: Tab Session Manager or OneTab.

5. Use an intelligent password manager

• Why: Strong, unique passwords and autofill without relying on browser-stored credentials.
• Suggested extension: Bitwarden or 1Password.

6. Optimize startup and background tabs

• Why: Faster launch and lower RAM use.
• How: Set RPM to open a specific set of pages or a blank page; enable tab discarding/sleeping in settings or via an extension like The Great Suspender (or modern alternatives).

7. Enable a content blocking ruleset for heavy sites

• Why: Stops resource-heavy scripts on verbose sites (news, social media).
• How: Use uBlock Origin’s dynamic rules or extensions like ScriptSafe/NoScript to whitelist only needed scripts.

8. Install a reader mode / clutter remover

• Why: Improves readability and reduces rendering cost for long articles.
• Suggested extension: Reader View or Mercury Reader.

9. Use an extension to control autoplay and media

• Why: Prevents unexpected media playback that consumes CPU and battery.
• Suggested extension: AutoplayStopper or built-in media autoplay controls.

10. Monitor and limit resource‑hungry extensions

• Why: Extensions themselves can slow the browser.
• How: Periodically review extension activity in RPM’s task manager; disable or remove rarely used add-ons.

Quick combo setup (recommended)

• uBlock Origin + Privacy Badger + Bitwarden + Tab Session Manager + Reader View.
  This mix balances speed, privacy, security, and productivity.
