A lot of apps don't like little-browser (lynx) because of javascript
 
Is there any other browser that shuts off pictures and videos (ie does not
download them) to conserve mobile data?
 
Way back, browsers let you shut off pictures

Isn't that the function of the data saver function?

In web browsers, like Edge, Firefox, and others, there is an auto-play
setting.  You configure auto-play to disabled.  That way, just loading a
web page does not automatically start playing a video.  I hate web sites
that automatically start playing a video, and at 100% volume, to jar me
out of my chair.  With auto-play disabled, videos do NOT automatically
start when loading a web page.

You don't mention what web browser you use.  Lynx is obviously not a
robust web browser, and obviously won't do any scripting nor play
videos.  What OTHER web browser do you have on your unidentified brand
and model of smartphone?
