How to save mobile data with Google Chrome

Mobile operators are increasingly offering packages with more data. The consumption of both music and video streaming has increased enormously in recent times, making it impossible to use figures as low as the old 500 MB that some of us had. That is why it is not uncommon to see offers with 10GB to share between lines, for example.

We also have to do our part, saving, as far as possible, mobile data to reach the end of the month a little more relieved.And part of the savings translates into how we use our mobile applications. One of the ones we use every day, Google Chrome, also has its tricks to save mobile data. We propose two of them. So that browsing with data is not an ordeal.

Save mobile data browsing offline

You have to take a bus trip and you know that, sooner rather than later, you will end up picking up your mobile and looking at blogs and social networks. With these there is little to do: they are going to spend your data, yes or yes. However, if you are going to limit yourself to browsing the blogosphere, there is a trick so that you can do it, even with the data disabled. To do this, you just have to download the pages when you're on a WiFi network

If you want to download pages to view later offline, do the following:

• Go to the page/blog/web in question. Remember to always be under WiFi network.
• Click on the three-point menu that you can locate right at the top right of the window.
• In this dropdown, if you look at the top, you will see a arrow going down. press it The download of the page you are on will begin.
• When you want to access all the pages you have downloaded, you just have to wait until you are out of data. Disconnect WiFi and data and enter Google Chrome.
• Open a tab and, at the bottom, you can see the list of all the pages you've downloaded. To read them, you just have to click on them and they will open without any problem.

An essential trick, especially if you are one of those people who travel a lot or have to be in waiting places for long days.

Activate the data saving system in Google Chrome

The Chrome application for Android has its own data saving system And you have it at your disposal in the three-point menu to which we referred before. To activate the data saving system in Chrome, all you have to do is go to the menu and look for the settings section within it.

Within Settings, scroll down to 'Advanced Options'. Here you can see a section called 'Data saving' Make sure you always have this function activated. Thanks to it, you will save megabytes that can be used for any emergency situation when the end of billing approaches.

When you turn on data saving mode, the content you access is first directed to Google's servers before being download to your mobile. You should keep the following in mind when you activate this saving mode:

• Pictures may look a bit blurry.
• Internal company websites may not load with this method.
• If you have problems accessing the page of your mobile operator, disable this option while you try.
• Data saver mode doesn't work while browsing incognito mode.

Saving mobile data with Chrome is easy, if you know how. We hope we have resolved your doubt with this simple tutorial.
