I don't have Netflix account to test it but I like to use Opera browser. Firefox eats too much RAM and battery.

thank you for the feedback, will try Opera too, you're right, if I watch youtube or something else, the battery runs about 5-6 hours (on Safari), but using Firefox, I just have 2-4 hours of battery, my battery life percentage is 67%. Really unfortunate that Netflix doesn't work on my Safari.

By the way, is your machine running good? What is your major drawback? Mine is the SD card. I do take photographs and have to use external USB card reader though it doesn't cost much, but would love to have the internal card reader to work.

Good thing about Opera is that it has battery saver mode but nothing compares to Safari when it come to power efficiency. Did you try this solution https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7883353.
My system runs better now after High Sierra upgrade and updated all kext thanks to you. I've read that all xps 13 hack series have problem with Card Reader and its known issue. My SD port is not even detected in hardware report. We can disable it in bios to save power since is unusable anyway. We we no choice but to use USB card reader.
 
I have fixed my brightness control keys :thumbup:. They working flawless now. No more playing with Fn+b or Fn+s. Here is what I did:
- Enabled "change OSID to XSID (to avoid match against _OSI XOSI patch)"
- Enabled "change _OSI to XOSI" in clover configurator of my config.plist file
- Added SSDT-XOSI.aml file to Clover/ACPI/patched folder
- Added SSDT-XOSI.aml to SortedOrder in last position

If anyone need file I am attaching below.

Update: 25 Sept
Just updated to Mojave, before doing upgrade I copy the apfs.efi to driver64UEFI to EFI folder.
The ssd is however has to be converted to APFS (i had high sierra without apfs), installation takes more than 30 minutes (excluding downloading time). I though it was going to fail because the loading screen seemed stuck for 10 minutes but after sometimes it went on and it says "time remaining"

Enjoying the dark mode ;)
 
I've tried to upgrade Mojave via apple store. Boot verbose shows "Lilu: file@failed to find", "Lilu: patcher@uuid mismatch", multiple times "Refusing new kext", "Unsuported CPU", "Unsuported PCH"

Your config.plist is a mess.... looks like you merged a kext Info.plist into it!!

I can't pass "Unsupported CPU" and "Unsupported PCH" to install Mojave. It stops after that and screen gets black. I have replaced CoreDisplayFixup with Whatervergreen + updated Lilu.
