Limit upload and download speed without slowing browsing speed with iptables

Hello,
I was searching for a way in order to disable downloading and uploading without slowing down browsing speed with iptables (Just for fun and for testing). If this way worked please add it as a new feature in the upcoming version

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m length --length 900:65535 -j DROP

iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m length --length 900:65535 -j DROP

iptables -I FORWARD -p tcp --dport 80 -m length --length 900:65535 -j DROP

please tell me if these rules worked for you and please tell me if you noticed anything slowing down or changed

You can create the exact same effect using QOS.

Qos will slow down web browsing

How will it do that?
Provide me proof and testing that someone should use your method rather than 2 simple QOS rules.

I uploaded a file to the router and tried to download it via browser and download speed was to slow, also when I try to download files from internet I get 1kb/s but browsing is working normal

I have my QOS configured to throttle Netflix and webpage access works a lot better.
