The "low bandwidth" mode has sat in draft for a very long time and needs to find a new home. Having chatted with the original developer, we decided it would be best to:

  • Rename this. This is not the new low bandwidth mode, but the original effort to just reduce the footprint.
  • The description is completely wrong. This updates it to describe exactly what it does.
  • The feature should live in devtools. We don't expect anyone to be turning this on outside of a demo environment. This is NOT a supported production environment but it is a useful tool to show a reduced-featureset Matrix client.
