When i use all of my internet limit it limits my internet, on firefox websites are unusable. Is there browser for android with following features:
Preferably on F-Droid
Just load text
Lynx or w3m or something in Termux? (Installing Termux would be best somewhere you can get faster internet, like a library or business, etc)
Can you use them on touch screen?
Yes, I just tried it. In Termux you would have the on-screen keyboard up nearly all the time anyway but both browsers I mentioned allow tapping on links, etc. (But w3m seems to require pressing Enter on the keyboard to confirm navigating to them)
I would think that whatever browser you use would, presumably, make little difference to how much data a website tries to send you? It would only change what’s displayed. (But happy to be corrected on that by someone more knowledgeable.)
If your connection really is limited to such a slow speed, you might need to find a proxy server that strips out as much as possible before it reaches you.
I needed something like this back when I lived out in the sticks. Could only get 2g - 3g on Verizon at home, had a DSL line for the desktop, high speed connections were prohibitively expensive. Back in the day you could just walk away and let sites buffer while doing other stuff, but as the rest of the world grew faster, low speed customers got left behind. Everything is set to timeout if it fails to load in a couple minutes.
Only solution I ever found was to disable JavaScript, force everything to HTML/CSS only where possible, and use a download manager with automatic retry/restart to download any videos I wanted to watch from YouTube or Facebook.
Is there ways to do it on firefox, i remember opera had this gimmick.
Not an open ended question
You can kind of use delta chat with a preview bot. Delta Chat works extremely well on low bandwidth so even if it takes a long time, you’ll eventually get the website, unlike in browsers in my experience
How does it work?
