Frequently asked questions

Does this speed up downloads?

No, but it prevents sleep from interrupting an active session.

Should I keep the tab visible?

Yes, the wake lock needs the tab to stay visible.

Will the computer still sleep?

System sleep follows OS settings; this keeps the display awake.
