Fortunately, the gloomy times of dial-up are long gone. Yes, that's just our Internet providers do not know about it, but because users often have to deal with monstrously slow page loading.
The Turbo mode in the Opera will help to cope with this problem. If you do not understand, this is a browser.
Opera Turbo is a special technology that allows you to compress the data stream passing through the browser several times. “Turbo” is based on the fact that all traffic does not directly go to the user's computer, but is previously compressed on the servers of the Norwegian company.
The compression ratio reaches 80%. It is believed that the "Turbo" mode in the Opera helps to significantly save traffic. This is especially true for users who are actively using USB modems.
The difference between this mode and other technologies is that it allows you to compress pages without distorting the HTML markup. Note that Flash, JavaScript, and AJAX objects are not compressible. Therefore, in relation to Java sites, technology is powerless.
Thus, on Java sites, the Turbo mode in Opera will not help you in the least. In addition, encrypted traffic does not change in any way. Simply put, your sensitive data comes to you directly, bypassing the company’s server.
Note that this mode can be used as a simple substitute for a proxy server. The fact is that data compression occurs due to the Opera Web Optimization Proxy technology, by the name of which much can be understood.
All requests from the browser to the network pass through a server located outside of our country, and therefore its owners are in no way bound by any legal prohibitions.
Simply put, the Turbo mode in the Opera allows you to anonymously visit some network resources. This is especially true in countries that actively use network censorship.
By the way, how does such a useful option turn on? To enable it, you need to find the “Settings” item in the general menu of the browser, find the “General settings” sub-item. All this mess can be avoided simply by pressing Ctrl + F12.
You should go to the “Web pages” tab, find the item “Turbo mode”, and then activate the item “Enabled” in the drop-down list. As a result, the Opera browser, whose “Turbo” -mode (how to enable it, we examined) is such a multifaceted tool, makes it possible to visit sites blocked in our country.
By the way, there is no need to turn on Turbo in such a complicated way. In the lower left corner of the working browser window there is an icon in the form of a speedometer. Click on it and select the “Enabled” mode. In addition, you can familiarize yourself with the mode settings, activating them if necessary. After that you need to click on "OK".
But this wonderful option has one significant drawback. The point is that the images on the page greatly degrade their quality. If you want to view a photograph without looking at the cubes, simply right-click on it and select “Restart in original quality” from the context menu.
So you found out where the “Turbo” mode is in the Opera. As you can see, it can be used in several qualities at once.
