Chrome Data Saver can now disable images altogether

02 December, 2015
The Data Saver feature in Chrome for mobile let you save some time and data by compressing images on the web pages, something Opera pioneered a while back. But if you're on a particularly slow connection, even that could take a while.

I know that some pages look really awful (text is all over the place) when you remove images, but the newer and updated pages do look somewhat nice (like the one in picture).

    Why not also block ads so even more data will be saved? Oh I forgot.. Google can't do that... That's why I use firefox for Android with image block and ublock origin addon.

              AnonD-222770, 02 Dec 2015Disabling the images is not mean the data saving. Images are among the biggest data guzzlers and time wasters when it comes to to page loading in Web browsing..

                  Finally! I can actually read the damn news in Chrome instead of having to switch browsers!
                  Seriously, between internal ads (other articles or junk on the site), external ads (regular ads) and articles including generic pictures that are obviously googled for the article and usually have little or nothing to do with it, reading the news on mobile data kind'a sucks if you're on a low mothly data cap.
