closedtoggle images based on metered network status
0%
Description
Sometimes get hazzled enabling & redisabling the images when switching between metered/unmetered network (ex. telcom/broadband).
If webview has detection capability whether the user is on WiFi (which has unmetered status bydefault) or telecom based network (which is metered bydefault), having a configuration that can enable displaying images while unmetered, & disabling it while metered, would be a great addition.

For security and privacy reasons, Privacy Browser Android will never include the android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission.

As such, there is no way for Privacy Browser Android to automatically determine if a user is on a metered network. It is up to the user to know that and adjust their behavior accordingly.

Understood. Seems like this needs permission accesses, such is against this project guidelines.
