just use NU everyday and starve away from other content

I can burn around 5Gb in 15 days on data if I'm not careful. 1Gb instead if I'm careful.

 

just sit at library with you laptop or phone and use their wifi or go to coffee shop or something for like an 1hr or 2 this would also save you from having to use your data. I live right next to a library and sometimes use their wifi as I read my novels or maybe pick up some of their magazines that they order they have cosplay/otaku usa/ newtype etc. usually pick up a book too.

 

turn on airplane mode for phone, when your not using it?

EDIT: also check/stop automatic updates to various software, in case a random update come up later on.

 

I usually download a bunch of epubs of novels on my backlog and read those when I need to watch my data. Might want to get a different phone browser too, Chrome for Android can't use extensions but I believe Yandex for Android can use chrome extensions, which if you install ublock origin could potentially save data.

 

I can burn around 5GB of data in 3 days if I have enough data. Honestly, that's still not enough for me.

I suggest turning off all auto-updates and turn on data saver if your browser have one. If you want, download all the chapters you want to read from NU using the download page function if you're using Google Chrome to avoid unnecessary data usage, plus you can read them anytime anywhere.

 

Don't open YT, FB, IG, etc
Disable auto download image/video for WA, Tele, Discord, etc
Disable auto update for Play Store
Turn off mobile data
And sleep

 

Only ever used like 4 gb through celluler data, most of the time use free wi-fi to download big file

 

i dont know how data works but i have seen my sim burning 20+ mb data just to load a page so i dont trust these phone companies at all.....

 

did you just pasted the chapter in the notepad and checked how much it is? Did you forget about the html? Even if you don't see it, there is potentially a crap load of html on the page. This says the average html size is 59kb, and according to this the size of the html alone on nuf is 137kb. You gotta download that regardless, and even if you reduce it somewhat by disabling scripts, there is still a lot.

@Miku, there are several things you can do
1) Check some browsers that have data saving mode. Looks like Opera might be something you want
2) Think of disabling cookies. I am assuming you are running adblock and such, because those will definitely eat up bandwidth.
3) Look for browser extensions that compress web pages before downloading them.
4) Enable mobile mode on your desktop browser and browse only mobile version of the pages. They are a bit lighter than the desktop versions.
5) Check what applications are running. You can have something in the background doing a lot of web requests and eating up your bandwidth.
6) There are apparently some vpn services that compress your traffic too.
.. I think this is most of it..

Oh, and you can set up caching proxy on your network. You can do it with a raspberry pi or just use your desktop. It will cache pages that you visited and just load what's new, instead of redownloading crap all the time. It will be a bit more advanced than what a browser does with cache

 

My point is that 1) We don't know what web site op uses and 2) The size of the page can vary largely, even if it's just reading a novel. Having 1mb of stuff in the html alone is not that far out of reach if you consider the size of html + the fact that websites do a page to page data transfer in html too, stuff like sessions, viewstates, and post data. CNN home page is 800KB just html size.
And well, reading 300 chapters a day is possible. I've done that. Depending on the novel and how you read.

 

Well, you can use other browser that has similar function. You don't necessarily need Chrome for that. I just used it as an example since that's what I use all the time.

 

Try using uMatrix. It's from the same guy who develops uBlock Origin. It automatically blocks all third-party resources and gives you a lot of granular options for allowing or blocking certain aspects of a site.

It takes some getting used to since it will break just about every site you visit. Once you get the hang of it, it saves you a lot of data. It works with Firefox and Chrome on the desktop. Since it's available for Firefox, you might be able to use it on Firefox on your phone.

 

seems more like noscript with better customization...
I actually don't think this will help save data, as all the scripts will still have to load, and then disabled...

 

yes, my bad, what I meant there actually the page size you have to download. It will, of course, prevent all of the dynamic crap from loading that comes after you download the initial page. I thought you already have that blocked

 

You might also want to look into using Decentraleyes. It creates a local cache of js libraries and then uses a proxy to redirect requests to those libraries to localhost. The end result is that you shouldn't ever need to download any js libraries after your first download. It also protects you from downloading a malicious library should you encounter a man-in-the-middle attack. The whole protection aspect is for paranoid users, but it can save you a fair amount of data regardless of your level of paranoia.
