When i use all of my internet limit it limits my internet, on firefox websites are unusable. Is there browser for android with following features:

Preferably on F-Droid

Just load text

Edit:

For now solution is firefox + ublock (adnauseum) and in settings of ublock check block JavaScript and block elements over 10kb

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 https://github.com/ayastreb/bandwidth-hero/

Yeah the problem is not the browser, it's that websites are so big. Firefox works perfectly fine on low bandwidth if you use ublock origin and block media and script loading.

I use this often for the same reason, many websites don't display properly or at all anymore but at least it's more usable.

Thanks, I used it with adnauseum and it made internet slightly more bearable.

But I reduced max loading element size to 10KiB

Does anyone know how to make it load later these elements

For example load first elements with 1kb later 10 kb next 100kb etc.

Adnauseum is the opposite of bandwidth saving in your case. It sends a request to ad trackers reducing the impact of your the data usage reduction.

Remove Adnauseum and switch to Ublock-origin. 64kbps was a data speed I think I saw in 2010/2012 and maybe, 2014 when I used to exhaust my data limit.

You need every data saving measure you can get. I would block 3rd party requests if you haven't already to reduce the bandwidth needed even further.
