Extension Usage Instructions

If your home internet package includes a monthly data limit or you use 3G/4G internet on-the-go or at work, data usage is always an issue. Often avoiding watching large videos online helps to solve the problem, but much of the time when you browse the internet, the pages you visit will have visual and audio content that are automatically downloaded and shown to you, even if you don't want to see them.

This app is primarily for those users who want to keep their data footprint small when they browse the web, with the option of turning off images, video, or other multi-media features that your browser will go ahead and grab without your consent.

Just install and click the button at the top of your web browser to let it know what you don't want to download.
