Data Saver

Overview

Data Saver cuts how much data a webpage downloads by blocking ads, trackers, images, and autoplaying or streaming video — turn all three on and you're browsing in a lightweight, text-only mode. Built for anyone on a limited, slow, or metered connection. **What it blocks** 🚫 **Ads & trackers** — a maintained blocklist of known ad and tracking domains, plus pattern-based rules for ad networks and analytics scripts, all evaluated locally by Chrome — nothing is sent to any server to make a blocking decision. 🖼️ **Images** — loads pages as text-only. Blocked images collapse cleanly instead of leaving broken-icon boxes behind. 🎬 **Video & audio** — stops autoplay before it starts, and blocks the adaptive-streaming (HLS/DASH) requests that most video sites use, not just old-style direct video downloads — so streaming sites actually stop consuming bandwidth, not just visibly-playing `<video>` tags. **Built for control, not all-or-nothing** - Three independent toggles — turn off just images, just video, or just ads, however you want to balance data savings against how a page looks. - **Pause on this site** — one tap disables all blocking on the site you're currently on, without touching your settings anywhere else. Come back later and it's exactly as you left it. **Privacy** Data Saver collects nothing. No analytics, no tracking, no server of its own. Every blocking rule ships inside the extension and runs entirely inside your browser.
