[Feature Request] Save-Data: on setting #32

Closed BasilTomato closed 3 years ago

BasilTomato commented 4 years ago

Please explain why your feature request fall into the scope of ungoogled-chromium? This feature is built-in the Chrome Android browser, but can not be set in Ungoogled Chromium Android. Or at least I was not able to find any information regarding this.

Please describe the feature you would like to have Would it be possible to support the "Save-Data: on" HTTP request header for potential data saving on mobile data connection? It is supported in the Chrome Android app "Lite mode" (previously: "Data Saver"), but the lite mode itself is removed from Ungoogled Chromium Android thus the save-data request also removed.

Describe the solution you'd like Setting this HTTP request header via flag or other means.

Describe alternatives you've considered n/a

The feature will route all your traffic through Google's servers which is not supposed to happen in ungoogled-chromium.

As far as I understand this is a HTTP request header field independent from the Chrome Lite mode feature, or any specific browser features.

The article above describes the background and links a Firefox extension created by the article's author.
