    This is AWESOME.

    Don't be worried about how to set up your own data compression service. It is very simple to do.

    Thank you so much for making this information/ app available.

    Does this also work for DRM content???

    Hervorragend, im Schnitt 89% Einsparung mit extremer Komprimierung JPG20 - in Farbe. Reduziert die Ladezeit von Webseiten deutlich z.B. in Kombination mit O2 Free mit 1Mbit/s (worauf ich komplett umgestiegen bin seit im regionalen Kabelnetz von Cablesurf mit gebuchten 30MBit/s - jetzt PŸUR nicht mal mehr YouTube streaming in 360p zu Stosszeiten möglich war...

    Its very unfortunate the service is shutting down

    However i have tried to setup an instance on Heroku, how do i actually see that compression is taking place because i dont see the counters moving when i click the extension icon in firefox

    Have you changed the URL in "Configure data compression service"? It should show a checkmark in the input field icon if everything is correct. When you change the URL and activate Bandwidth Hero - it should be working.

    Noooooo! I saved a lot of data with it. I don't know why they turned it off. :c

    Due to increased load and complains from ISP we had to shutdown the public data compression service.

    You can still use the extension and save data if you install your own data compression service on Heroku or other hosting platform.
    Check https://github.com/ayastreb/bandwidth-hero-proxy for more details!
