Get Opera Off-Road mode like data savings on Chrome

Opera's Off-Road mode provides a proxy based compression service which helps to reduce data usage and speeds up browsing in slow connections. Google has implemented the same feature in Chrome Mobile but not in the desktop version.

Now Google operating system blog (unofficial) has got a tip from a reader that you can get the same feature on your Chrome desktop version using an extension.

You can read more on the blog here Enable Data Compression Proxy in Chrome for Desktop. I have tested the extension and seems to work like advertised with slight speedup and savings up to 60%. This may vary for you.
