If you are using Google Chrome for web browsing already, you might already know about Chrome plugins and extensions that you can install to enhance your experience.

However, when we add a new extension it usually takes away from our performance based on the simple logic that the more features we add the more load we generate for them to work. As a result, you might find the Google Chrome browser not as fast as it once was.
Google now offers an official plugin made by them called the Data Saver extension. Whenever you have something that’s made by the folks out of Mountain View you are usually in pretty good hands.
