So, are there any gratis web browser for mobile phones that can be used on desktop machine (Windows OS)? Or, in another words, are there software developer company that create web browsers that tend to use less bandwidth and take up less space?
Opera has mobile browsers which are known for their bandwidth efficiency1. Targeting developers, Opera offers a "mobile emulator" which is available for download here – for Linux, Mac and Windows.

With Chrome you can easily Simulate Mobile Devices with Device Mode and test a given device (such as iPhone 6s, Nexus 5X or a customized screen size).
You can also throttle the bandwidth to simulate diferent download rates of a mobile connection (such as GPRS, 3G, 4G...) to test the performance of a Website.
These tools are generally used by Mobile- and Web-developers.
