tried but not impressive, just save a few byte per one youtube video, uninstalled.
Their own website states that you won't save any bandwidth on videos & music (because they're already compressed). Same applies to most photos which are already jpeg compressed.

It will save you some bandwidth on web pages at the expense of some lag, but mainly by reducing the quality of images on the page to make them smaller. If you can accept that then fine, but don't expect to save anything but a tiny fraction overall. The rest is just snake-oil.

Stop being stupid people, if you just do a bit of reading, you would see that it doesn't work for streaming video.
Its great for apps with pics, like flipboard, facebook, instagram, etc. It does work.

"The few things that Onavo can’t compress:

- Any SSL encrypted traffic – which includes email, Dropbox, and Facebook if you have ‘force https://’ turned on.
- Streaming video from any source."
