Earlier in 2014, Chrome introduced Data Saver which aimed to reduce data consumption. The Data Saver technology worked by compressing data through Google servers. Apparently, this new update to the Chrome browser is Google’s step forward in decreasing data usage. Reports suggest that data savings will increase by 70% on Chrome mobile browser after this update.

Google Chrome will detect internet speed when user will surf the internet and automatically activate the Data Saver function if the connection is slow.
