Save-Data: on

Automatically enable data-savings mode at compatible websites.
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.

Thank you, facebook is loading better and isn't doing the jerking/stopping thing when trying to scroll.
