Description from store
Bandwidth Hero saves data by compressing all images on the page via data compression service which reduces image size by about 50%-75%.
Compression service downloads original image, converts it to WebP image and returns it to the browser.
Unlike Google's Data Saver, Bandwidth Hero works for both secure and unsecure URLs.
It is very useful when you use limited data, such as 3G or LTE.
After installing this extension you need to setup data compression service to run on Heroku or your own Node.js server.
The extension is open-sourced, you can check the code on GitHub - https://github.com/ayastreb/bandwidth-hero/
---
By installing and using this extension with public data compression service (https://compressor.bandwidth-hero.com) you agree with our Terms and Conditions of Service (https://bandwidth-hero.com/terms).

- I have been using this extension for the more than a year now, tho it cost me surfing thru Github for so long lloking to see if i will get lucky and see someone who forked the repo and probally kept on maintaining it, well,thank Goodness i found it. You only need a netlify account for the method, and just a one click deploy to netlify and you are ready to go. Go to this github link: https://github.com/himshim/bandwidth-hero-proxy2 And follow the guide on how to get one up and running for your self, we don know how long it will take netlify and follow suit like Heroku but yeah for now lets enjoy

- I noticed some 12 years olds whining about how it's no longer free. Is the developer obligated to provide ya'll with a service that costs money to run? Anyway, to those who need the service but don't have the technical knowledge to self host it. Send an email to https://dub.sh/server and I'll try to help you setup a server that would work flawlessly. For free of course.

- Does it still work using free heroku? It says that how much mb I save but I check images before and after I turn it on but no changes on sizes or that's not how it works? I also notice that it turns all the images into grayscale how do I fix that?. Thank you.

- freaking awesome, it save me a lot of bandwidth. not for an average user tho, because you need to do some technical thing such as deploying your own web service for this extension. but it is worth the time.

- Dude your extention is wonderful! Could you please make an update for more compression (WEBP 5)? I think WEBP 20 is not extreme quality. You should add WEBP 5. Edit: (22.06.2022) Bro, the extention does not work any more, can you please update it?

- I got it working in Kiwi Browser for Android (thanks to the instructions posted here by other users) ) but strangely it just doesn't work in Chrome. Any idea what could be the issue? Do I need to use a different Heroku account?

- This extension works well for me by following the instructions and creating a HEKO machine instance for free. The extension does NOT seem to like it's "disable on this site" option when you try to stop it working on a particular web tab.........it seems to cause the whole extension to start screwing up.... but other than that, it saves a lot of needless data going through your DSL line which is a great thing......i think it's saved me about 6 gigabytes already....... i was on a 30 gig per month data limit but got a free upgrade to UNLIMITED ......but i still use this extension anyhow incase the 30 gig per month limit returns on my DSL line

- Still works, and works like an absolute charm. Turned a 2.5MB image (2 minutes to load) into a 40KB image (loaded in 0.9 seconds). For someone with horribly slow internet, this is actually a godsend. Heroku setup was done in about 3 minutes, the 8 hour "sleep period" Heroku requires is.. well, humans go to sleep for 8 hours a day too right? Just let it sleep then. My favorite manga reader app, TachiyomiSY, even has support for Bandwidth Hero. Easily turns me waiting 10 minutes just to load a single chapter into NOTHING. This still works. If you have less than 30MB/s internet speed, absolutely use this!

- Works well with Heroku even though I don't really know what I'm doing. I just followed the instructions, copy and paste, and voila! Data compression so I don't use up all the GB on my stupid Straighttalk hotspot!

- Awesome! Works great! Though on some sites, like Youtube it doesn't work. It's nice that you can set them to disable if it doesn't.
