The Night mode feature works as usual,dimming your device's screen so it doesn't strain your eyes whenviewed in the dark. The data-savings page lets you see and adjust howmuch data you're able to shave off your time spent browsing – thetraffic exhausted could be shrunk down to to as little as 10% of itsoriginal size. Private mode offers private tabs that don't save anyinformation when they are closed.
