How to reduce Internet consumption by the browser?
If you find yourself in a situation where your traffic is limited, then surfing the Internet can hit your balance hard. One surfing site for half an hour can take about 200 MB.
To reduce this cost, you can disable the download of images larger than X KB. You specify the value of X yourself.
1. Install the extension uBlock.
2. Go to plugin settings.
3. Check the box next to “Block Media Elements More”.
four. Set the amount of images you can afford to upload. Please note that there can be dozens of images on one page of the site.
5. Set to 0 to completely disable image loading.
Done. Your browser will consume less traffic. If you want to roll back everything as it was, then return to the same menu and uncheck the box. The introduced restrictions will affect any type of media: audio, video, gif and pictures.
