@rrt that decision limits user choice quite a bit.

My main use of caffeine is Netflix in chrome using pipelight, and YouTube. As I'm sure many people will agree, full screen YouTube is sometimes a pain and results in poor viewing quality and bad experience. Also in my case (and in sure some others) with a crappy graphics cards and slow processor, Netflix barely runs through pipelight in the browser, and full screen degrades performance even more.

I definitely think automatic caffeine during full screen is a great feature and should be available, but why not include it as an option to the already existing options in 2.5 and keep the other options?

Detecting plugplay.exe to keep my screensaver off only when I'm playing Netflix is almost my only use for caffeine...
