## Description

**Force LTE Only (4G/5G)** is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help you easily switch and lock your Android device's network mode to 5G, 4G (LTE), 3G, or 2G. This tool prevents your phone from automatically switching networks, ensuring a stable connection on your preferred network type. 

The extension is especially useful if you have free data on 4G and want to avoid being charged when your device switches to 3G or lower networks. It supports Android 11 and devices with 5G (NR). However, compatibility depends on your phone brand, as some manufacturers restrict forced network switching. Please note that if the extension doesn't work on your device, it might be due to these brand limitations and not a fault of the extension itself.
