    I'm often on the road, connecting to the internet through my mobile hostpost which costs me around $10/GB.
    Chrome and Opera browsers have "off road" features that compress data to save on bandwidth via a proxy server.
    I prefer the Firefox browser which doesn't have the type of function.
    I'm searching for Proxy server (service) that does compression that helps me save on mobile data when browsing the web.
    Most VPNs I've looked at don't offer compression.
