One app the HN crowd may not be so aware of is UC Browser.

UC Browser aggressively optimises for page size by cutting out javascript and sending out only 10 kb segments at a time.

I owned an old Nokia feature phone and used to browse the internet all the time almost as if I had a smartphone with a good internet connection.

On slow 2G connections here in India UC Browser can be a god send.

But there are privacy risks.



This one is similar in that it strips out all JavaScript, CSS, and attributes, essentially stripping down pages into simple documents.
