Fortunately, the days when you could only surf properly at home are long gone. But most mobile flat rates are still throttled to crawling speed after a contractually agreed high-speed volume. Then you can still text, but using the Internet on the go is no longer really fun.
But what can you do when the high-speed volume has been used up and the next month is still a few days away? The providers would say that you should buy additional data volume. You can do it, but there are other options, such as data saving functions in the browser.
Opera Mini with data saving function
While Opera has never made it to the top of browsers, it has a steady following. Opera was also early in the mobile market and still supplies a browser with Opera Mini, which offers an integrated data saving function under Android. It is switched on automatically, but you can adjust it in the settings.
In addition to the automatic and an off switch, the levels “high” and “extreme” are available. The difference: With “High” the interventions in websites are more careful, the extreme mode shoots up websites that have already been visited. In return, Opera data savings of up to 90 percent. The best thing to do is simply try out which settings work for you.
You can also reduce the image quality separately in the same settings area. It is important to know that with the data saving function, the pages visited are loaded via a proxy server at Opera, and the pages are built on the cell phone.
