Google Updates Chrome on Android to Save More Data

The update saves data by removing most images when loading websites on a slow connection.

Google has announced an update for its Data Saver mode in Chrome on Android devices, which allows users to save up to 70 percent of their data usage by removing most images when loading websites on a slow connection.

Using this Data Saver mode not only prevents users from wasting data on images, but also makes webpages load faster. When viewing a webpage with the images removed, users can tap a ‘load images’ button to load all of the page’s images, or tap to show the individual images they’d like to view.
