How to reduce data usage up to 50% in Chrome [Tip]

Often these extensions or plugins are add-ons which offer a variety of additional features that allow us to do more with Chrome. However, when we add a new extension it usually takes away from our performance based on the simple logic that the more features we add the more load we generate for them to work.

Once you have the Data Saver extension installed, it creates a connection between your computer and one of the servers running in Google’s data centers to help enhance your browsing experience. Here’s how you can benefit by using the new extension:
