How to save data using Chrome for Android

Chrome is undoubtedly one of the most useful applications that we have on our Android mobile. It allows us to browse the Internet, and thus access everything we want in the palm of our hand. And, being one of the most used, it is also one of the ones that consumes the most data.

But what many people don't realize is that this amount of data can quickly shrink. You just have to activate the basic mode, with which you can spend up to 60% less. The process to activate it and to deactivate it every time you need it is quite simple.

How to know how much you save with the basic mode of Chrome

To be sure of the amount of data that you will be saving with the basic mode, you will have to follow the same steps as before. On the screen of this mode Chrome, in addition to the button to activate and deactivate, you will also find a graph in which you can see the savings achieved.

Those responsible for Google assure that we can save up 60% of the data consumed in navigation. A figure that is not negligible, especially if you have a limited rate.

Basic mode limitations

Chrome's basic mode can be very useful, but it also has some limitations. Probably the most important of them is that it does not work when we are browsing in incognito mode. It is also important to know that what this mode does is load only the essential part of the websites you are browsing.

Therefore, it is possible that they do not look exactly the same as when we are browsing without this mode being activated, although the differences are not very significant.
