My monthly mobile data plan consumed in seconds. I hate html video autoplays, especially on mobile! Unfortunatelly it appears that it is currently not possible to disable it in Kiwi browser... EDIT: someone on Reddit suggested AutoplayStopper extension


These pages are using gif rather than video. That also contributes to more data consumed, because gif has very basic compression.

So in addition to an extension to disable auto play of videos for other pages, you probably need a different extension to disable gifs.


Ublock Origin solves this with an option to block media elements that are larger than a configured threshold: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-...


There should be a warning in the title, "(website has large data size)" or somethlike that.


The 90s are back baby!


Where is the "No Frames" option?? /s
