Google is testing data compression

Claiming a saving on data usage of 50 percent, Google has rolled out a new data compression feature in its Chrome for Mobile app that is available for Android and iOS. To enable the new feature, all the user needs to do is head over to the Settings menu, go into the Bandwidth Management section, and select "Reduce data usage".

In order to compress the data send to the mobile device, Google is forwarding all HTTP traffic and DNS lookups to a SPDY proxy run by the company, which sends its data back to the device over an SSL connection.
