How to Access Blocked Websites in Chrome without VPN or Proxy

Last quarter of 2015 Google release its Data Saver feature for Chrome. This feature is currently available on Chrome for Android devices, Computer and Chromebooks . 

Benefits of using Data Saver.
Accessing mobile websites on a slow connection can be frustrating: it can eat up your data, and it takes work to keep track of your usage. With that in mind, google has created Data Saver mode in Chrome, which reduces the amount of data used when you visit a webpage.

Using Data Saver it saves data up to 70 percent! – by removing most images when loading a page on a slow connection. After the page has loaded, you can tap to show all images or just the individual ones you want, making the web faster and cheaper to access on slow connections.

Using Data Saver, it uses google servers as proxy to reduce data usage. This makes all your browser traffic flow to Google servers rather then directly to website hosted server. This allows you to browse websites blocked by your ISP


How Data Saver works
When you're using Data Saver, Google's servers reduce the amount of data that is downloaded when you visit a webpage.

Note: Even with Data Saver, you won’t reduce the amount of data you’re downloading when you’re on secure pages, whose addresses start with https, or incognito pages.

With Data Saver turned on:

• Some websites might not be able to accurately determine your location.
• Some images might look a little fuzzy.
• Internal websites, such as your company’s internal sites, might not load.
• Sites that your mobile carrier uses to authenticate and bill you might not work. For example, you might have trouble logging in to your mobile phone provider's website.
• Local settings will be ignored if you manually modified your /etc/hosts file.

Data Saver comes with Chrome for Android mobile device. If you are using a desktop computer, or Chromebook you have to install the Chrome Add-on to get start using Data Saver

Chillhub - The Ubuntu Smart Fridge

Chillhub is a refrigerator with USB capabilities and WiFi connected, that will give a platform to developer to create awesome new add-on products like a butter softener compartment, food scale/weight sensor, deodorizer, auto-fill water pitcher, temperature modules, baby bottle IR, external speakers, voice control, etc.

Chill hub is powered by The Green Bean Connect Kit which includes all the parts necessary for quickly IoT'ifying your home and appliances.

ChillHub is connected to the web, and has its own smartphone app and can be upgraded with new features and functionality at any time. It runs Snappy Ubuntu Core, Canonical’s transactionally-updated minimal Ubuntu spin designed specifically for the Internet of Things. 

With the built in sensor it monitors the consumption of items stored id it, in the future this might give you the option to order online when the stock is low.

The included USB ports will open opportunity for  product makers the development of new modules that can operate inside this smart fridge.

Already modules are been developed for this smart fridge which include 

• Milky Weigh milk jug sensor ($49)

ChillHub will relay messages from the cloud and the fridge to connected USB devices and from connected USB devices back to the cloud.

The smart refrigerator will retail at $999 through FirstBuild.com, though to kick things off a small number of pre-orders are available for just $799.
