Mobile data saving

Hi all,

 

I’m currently on holiday and have to curb my data usage accordingly.

 

A feature I would love would be an option to click to load pictures, . It’s the worst thing opening a thread and loading 60mb of bad memes by accident. 

 

It would also be awesome to be able to disable loading of profile pics and stuff. I don’t want to use an adblocker to block the ads on the bottom of the site, since I like to support sites, but perhaps an option to load lower res ads?

 

Thanks

Froody

That's an F in the profile pic

Like @mikatsuggested, I would use a browser that supports disabling picture loading (Vivaldi on Desktop does a good job, or Firefox on mobile), that or use a browser that compresses pages before they arrive (I think Opera has the option, but I can't say for sure as I don't use it)

I do think that browsing the forum is a data hog especially on mobile. I wish there's a way to detect how much data is being used by a particular URL.

There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
