speeding up and saving data in chrome browser

Here in India we don't afford an unlimited internet plan or high speed internet(mostly). I came through some awesome chrome extensions to the rescue. I checked most of the extension they work seamlessly in my chrome browser in ubuntu 14.04.

If you're using windows you can consider an awesome ucbrowser that forked from chromium web browser. that support all the extensions of google chrome browser. we can grab it from pc.ucweb.com. It as its own cloud compression technology known as speedmode that can reduce the data transmitted over internet. Check it yourself.

So, here are the chrome extensions used to reduce internet data.

1. Google data saver extension:

You may seen this on your android devices, and now it's available for pc version of chrome. It uses the google's own server to optimize the pages that we request. It will not work with SSL or HTTPS sites. and it works damn nice with ordinary sites. grab it here: data-saver-beta and it's currently a beta release.

2. Disconnect:

Did u know, the page that loads in our browser not only loads the information that we want. It contains lots of tracking websites, ads, scripts, etc., they eat some bandwidth also. So this extension
will block all those trackers from the websites. grab it here: Disconnect extension.

3. uBlocker origin:

Another blocker that block unwanted ads and trackers. doesn't eat much of the hardward resources. it consumes less memory and cpu cycles unlike adblock plus. try it, it's so cool. grab it: ublock-origin

4. data-compression-proxy:

Another data saver extension. works same as google data-saver extension. try it yourself
grab it: data-compression-proxy. also there is a skyzip proxy extension that serves same as above.

5. ultimate user agent switcher url sniffer:

It's my suggestion that to use some user agent switchers to switch to the mobile devices such as windows phone or something. desktop version of websites are heavy and loads lots of data.
If i goto facebook's desktop version it eat almost 20mb of data. So that i switch to mobile device that load mobile version of facebook to save my data. :)
