Modern web bloat means some pages load 21MB of data - entry-level phones can't run some simple web pages, and some sites are harder to render than PUBG

    You can set a limit in uBO settings to prevent loading of files/elements above x KB in size. You will just see a red dotted blank space for elements comically large, and they will load if you click them, if needed.

      Is 50kb enough or should I go higher.

      Also. Thanks!

        Estimating the general acceptable size for images or GIFs helps here. Images usually cap under 600-700 KB, while GIFs can go over 1-2 MB. Experiment with the number, or set it at 1200 KB maybe.

        I have mine at 50kb, and most things load, but I do get some images that don’t. Just play with it and increase it until the frequency you need to tap pictures to render them doesn’t piss you off anymore.
