Why are there two brightness settings?

One thing I've found irritating is that the Vibrant has at least two brightness settings. The systems setting allows you to select "auto brightness" BUT

The browser has its own brightness controls and does have an "auto brightness" setting that I can find?!

Is that part of the "Power saving mode" (two below the "Brightness" setting)?

That option says "Save power by analyzing image and adjusting LCD brightness". Maybe the browser isn't playing nice with that function.

For the record... Mine is checked and I see the brightness increase on the browser too. I am not in a position to test it at the moment.

There is another brightness setting under the browser opt ins when you load the browser itself

The browser has a setting because a majority of websites are white, this is the opposite of most of the phone's Apps, so it makes sense that the browser would be different. If your phone has brightness up and you are reading a website at night, odds are you don't want the bright white light blinding you.
