For you to analyze how the mobile browser to save traffic

If your phone does not have Internet traffic http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/17187.html "> Monthly package, and you are not tyrants, then really should pay attention to your Internet traffic, Know that the current flow costs are too expensive. At present, many mobile browsers, for example (mobile version) Chrome/opera with data compression function, help you save the Internet traffic.

The use of data compression does not affect the user experience too much, in fact, the Web pages that are opened after using data compression, and those that are open without the use of data compression, are almost identical, and using this feature can help us save a significant amount of traffic.

Why you can save traffic

When you are in a mobile phone with a normal browser through the operator network, the browser will contact the Web server, and then the data request, the server will be based on the content of the request to return the data to the phone, the process and the process of using WiFi access is the same. The difference is that when you go online through a carrier, the operator is like a toll station for a bridge, recording data traffic between you and the Web server, and charging fees based on traffic.

But when you enable Chrome's data compression feature, or opera's off-road mode (off-road), which was previously known as Turbo mode, things are different. When you open a Web page, the browser first sends the data request to Google or Opera's own server, and the server downloads the data you need, including pictures, and other content based on the requested content. Then the browser's server will help you to compress the data to reduce the amount of data required by the page, and finally the compressed data through the carrier network to your phone. In short, the browser server acts as a proxy for data compression. This is one of the best ways to save on mobile internet traffic.

Data compression is mainly on the one hand, the compression of the page photos, because you look at the mobile end of the picture is not required to reach the high resolution of the PC, so the image compression, keep the appropriate details on the one hand, can save traffic, but also can speed up the loading speed.

How are you doing? Privacy issues?

If you have a mobile phone online faster, the use of data compression may slow down your internet speed, because the Web server is not directly linked to your phone, to wait for data compression Agent. But conversely, if your phone is slow to surf the internet, you can shorten the load time of the page because the data is compressed and the amount of data is reduced.

In addition, the use of data compression can also involve privacy issues, because every page you browse is done first via Google or Opera's server. But to be honest, it's not a big problem to know that your mobile phone operators, internet operators, and various intelligence agencies around the world can access your web browsing information. It's not over yet, if you used the sync feature of Chrome and opera, your history of surfing the Web was uploaded to the cloud, and Google didn't get more of your personal information through data compression--they've got it--in short, we've got enough , since our network privacy has been exposed, why not simply use the data compression function, get some benefit from it?

Perhaps you will ask, then I use data compression function online silver or something, is also safe? Of course you are still safe, because when we browse HTTPS pages, such as online banking. Instead of getting data from Google servers, Chrome will be directly connected to the site's servers. So your private information doesn't go through the Google Proxy, so you're still safe. Similarly, if you use Chrome stealth mode, the data compression function is also deactivated.

How to enable data compression

To enable Chrome's data compression on Android, IPhone, and ipad is simple, choose Chrome's "menu", choose "Settings", select "Bandwidth Settings" in "Advanced settings", and turn on "Reduce data usage", which is done.

The way to open Opera's off-road mode (off-road) is simpler, open the O menu and see the Off-Road option, which you can choose to turn on or off directly. This design makes it easy to choose a different mode of surfing the Internet, for example, when you use WiFi to turn off-road off, and you can open off-road when you use a mobile phone carrier network. In addition, you can also set in the off-road mode in the image compression ratio, choose a higher compression ratio can give you more traffic, but the quality of the picture will naturally decline.

On the desktop side of the opera browser also has a off-road mode, so when you use a laptop, linked mobile phone to the Internet, you can also turn on this feature to save network data costs.

See how much traffic is saved.

When you use the data compression function for a period of time, you can go through the above steps to see how the browser to save you the amount of traffic, then you can feel that this feature does have a "money" path.

In the "one inch byte one inch gold" world, data compression is simply our Savior, but then again, if you use the fast Internet interface such as LTE, and you have a monthly flow, then turning off data compression can make you have faster, better Internet experience.
