Is there an internet for this sort of thing? Reducing data usage in general would be nice but too many websites just openly disrespect their users by using far too much bandwidth.

Lynx or w3m or something in Termux? (Installing Termux would be best somewhere you can get faster internet, like a library or business, etc)

Whatever browser you use would, presumably, make no difference to how much data a website tries to send you. It would only change what’s displayed. If your connection really is limited to such a slow speed, you might need to find a proxy server that strips out as much as possible before it reaches you.

Ublock origin has the option to block all media over a certain size and JavaScript. The browser will never request the files so it will be faster (as long as it isn’t inline scripts) Alternatively github.com/ayastreb/bandwidth-hero/

Try the uMatrix plugin. It allows you to dis- or enable things like scripts and images on a per-site basis.

You can kind of use delta chat with a preview bot. Delta Chat works extremely well on low bandwidth so even if it takes a long time, you’ll eventually get the website, unlike in browsers in my experience

I’ve never tried it, but it’s on my todo list: Browsh

Had to get on our developers as our main website was over 50MB on load. They hadn’t optimized any images and were using size tags to resize a 4K image down to a thumbnail.

Consider that there’s probably a half dozen background programs using the internet connection as well. You’ll want to install something like a firewall that you can turn on that blocks all connections except from some allowlisted apps you currently want to use. A simple message check from a handful of installed messengers can occupy that connection for a few seconds while you’re trying to load something that’s much more important to you right now in the browser (my situation this morning on 2G network, trying to load my ~4KB grocery list webapp in the grocery store with bad reception… ended up connecting to the store WiFi and sold my soul with a checkbox ^^')

Maybe a terminal based browser like lynx, w3m, links2, browsh and the like. They are html only so it is going to limit the websites you can easily or reasonably access but it’ll work with an infinitesimal data connection.
