Save-Data: on

Automatically enable data-savings mode at compatible websites.
What is Save-Data: on?
Save-Data: On is a handy Chrome extension that tells websites you'd prefer to save on data. When used on compatible websites, this programming tool prompts them to adjust webpages, potentially showing you lower quality images and fewer media elements to reduce data downloads. Essentially, the extension sends the 'Save-Data: On' HTTP header with each request, signaling your data-saving preference to the website. Please note, this is not a data compression proxy, it simply favors cost-effective web browsing.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Tell websites that you prefer to save data and costs. At websites’ discretion, you may see lower quality images and fewer media elements as webpages adjust to reduce data downloads.

The extension works by sending the "Save-Data: on" HTTP header with every request. This extension is not a data compression proxy like the Data Saver/Lite option in Google Chrome, or Opera Turbo and Yandex.browser Turbo mode.
