Google Chrome 86 will get a LiteVideos mode that forces SD quality clips

Helping you save that precious data

Google Chrome has helped you save precious data for a long time with its data saver that eventually turned into the Lite mode we know today. As reported by TechDows, Google seems to be working on a Lite mode that extends to videos, making them play in SD quality.

As spotted in the Chromium bug tracker, the feature is currently called LiteVideos. It makes websites return SD quality clips in favor of HD ones by simulating "low bandwidth conditions by throttling media responses, to allow adaptive MSE video players to lower the resolution, and consume less data."

The option is currently live in the Canary release of Chrome 86, which is slated to go stable in late September/early October.
