little-browser? Odd, I often use an Android app named 'Little Browser'.
I like and use Little Browser often because of its easy slide out panel
with on-off switches for both Javascript and images. I use it mainly for
reading a site's text and avoiding ads and popups. But yes a few sites
don't work well with the switches off which is why they are handy if I
want to quickly turn them back on to see the site normally.

Is there any other browser that shuts off pictures and videos (ie
does not download them) to conserve mobile data?

The Android Dolphin browser also allows you to turn off images and
Javascript but that is done in settings and difficult to do quickly.
When using it with Javascript and images off I just skip the sites that
don't work. But I imagine both apps would conserve data.

Way back, browsers let you shut off pictures

Still can. Both the browsers I mentioned let you shut off images...
