<\/a><\/p>\n Google has been testing data compression on Chrome Beta for Android<\/a>, but today is your lucky day if you don’t like using beta products. Starting today, Chrome (stable) for Android and iOS will feature data compression, along with other features. <\/p>\n Data compression will ensure that you make the most our of your mobile data. When browsing, you can activate this feature and allow Google’s servers to compress and optimize websites before they are sent to your device. This ensures that you are not downloading extra content you won’t really take advantage of.<\/p>\n One of the main complaints is that it will take a little longer to download pages, but that is a bit of a trade-off if you keep going over your data cap. Also, it should be faster to download a website once it’s processed by Google, as it will be compressed and smaller. <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Android and iOS users can activate this feature by going to Settings > Bandwidth Management > Reduce Data Usage<\/strong>. Then turn the toggle to “on” and you are set! You can also use this page to track your data savings and see how well this feature performs. You should save about 50% of data usage, which is no small number!<\/p>\nData compression for Android and iOS<\/h2>\n
