Google Quietly Launches Data Saver Extension For Chrome

Posted by timothy on from the keeping-track-of-things dept.

An anonymous reader writes Google has quietly released a Data Saver extension for Chrome, bringing the company's data compression feature to the desktop for the first time. You can download the extension, currently in beta, from the Chrome Web Store. We say "quietly" because there doesn't seem to be an announcement from Google. The extension was published on March 23 and appears to work exactly as advertised on the tin, based on what we've seen in our early tests.

    Yes, that's exactly what Chrome is. But what does the extension do?
