Tips to lower bandwidth consumption
-
Hi,
I am on a trip and the mobile data allowance on my mobile subscription is quite low (16 GB). With limited access to Wi-Fi, I have to rely on my smartphone's hotspot and I'm looking for tips that will allow me to continue browsing within the limits of my allowance.For now, I have set Images to cache-only and turned off any streaming and video activity.
Thanks. -
@VoodooPriest And always use Vivaldi Blocker to stop ads consuming bandwith.

Enable Hibernate tabs and panels on startup (confirm that pinned tabs are NOT an exception)
Disable Automatic Updates, Mail, Calendar and Feeds, Sync, Search suggestions, Malware and Phishing prevention.
Should probably disable extensions as well if you have any.This purely from a bandwidth saving perspective. Personally in some of these cases, the tradeoff between bandwidth spent and convenience / safety would probably lead me to prefer the later rather than the bandwidth saving... I'll leave it to you to make that analysis for your particular case...
