Until such a feature is implemented, you may want to turn off image preloading; if you haven't already. And probably video preloading. Was just confirming the setting name when posting this and I noticed that setting.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion - couple quick questions if you don't mind. What would you expect such a feature to do when enabled? Would you be okay with seeing lower quality images if enabled? Or would it block any heavy media loads when not on wifi?

Cheers!

Hi, I'm rolling out some Data Saver options with 383 on beta. Thank you for the suggestions. Cheers!
