Google Web Light was a service offered by Google for faster browsing within its Android mobile browser Chrome. It detected slow speed such as 2G and switches to Google proxy servers with built-in data compression. It can speed up loading times for text-based websites.

This service was offered in select countries including - Indonesia, Brazil[1] and India.[2]

Google Web Light bypasses content filters. Without content filters, adult content or other harmful content may be accessed by under-18 users.[3]

In October of 2020 Google silently discontinued this service, and all Web Light links now redirect to their full version.[4]
