Browser developers are creating more and more new useful features, which are designed to make the user’s life easier and make using the browser comfortable, fast and safe. One such feature is Opera's Turbo mode.

What is Turbo mode in Opera, what does it do?

What is Turbo Opera mode and what advantages does it provide?

Turbo mode in Opera is a free feature built into your browser that can significantly reduce the amount of data downloaded when visiting websites.

When visiting a web resource, all data passes through a special server, which optimizes the content: compresses images (pictures and photos at the same time visually do not lose quality), corrects buffering of video content. Essentially, this is a proxy server.

In practice, the user receives the following benefits:

  1. Reducing traffic consumption. This is very useful for those who have limited traffic. Especially for users of mobile devices (phones, tablets) with Internet from mobile operators.
  2. Increasing website loading speed. Very useful if you have to use a slow Internet connection, for example, when working with public Wi-Fi networks.
  3. The ability to access sites blocked by Roskomnadzor (not always and not all. Sometimes Opera Turbo does not work - it does not bypass the blocking. Therefore, it is better to use a VPN for these purposes).

Turbo mode is available both to users of desktop computers running Windows OS and to those who use mobile devices with Opera for Android and Opera Mini installed on them (you can download Russian versions from the links).

How to enable Turbo mode in Opera in the new version of the browser

« Where did the function go? Why isn't it on the menu? Where does turbo mode turn on in Opera now? How to find?“- users of new versions of the browser ask.

How to enable this miracle Turbo mode in Opera? Previously, in older versions (up to 46), it could be launched from the menu, as well as using a button located in the address bar. But then they were removed :) Everything is lost. “Thank you” to our domestic fighters against Telegrams and other applications, programs, services and sites that “threaten” our safety.

By the way, they wanted to completely remove Turbo mode from Opera for users from Russia. Who knows, maybe there is still more to come...

In newer (latest) versions of the Opera browser, to enable Turbo mode you need to do the following:

By the way, in Opera you can install a special extension that adds a button to turn Turbo mode on and off in the browser. You can download it. Unfortunately, the page is not in Russian, but there’s still not much to read there.

How to disable Turbo mode in Opera

From the previous instructions for enabling it, it is already clear that to disable Turbo mode in Opera you need to:

  1. Go to browser settings;
  2. Go to the “Browser” tab;
  3. On display of additional settings;
  4. At the bottom of the page, uncheck the box next to “Enable Opera Turbo”.

This is how easy it is to turn Turbo mode on and off in Opera.

Some browsers have a so-called Turbo mode, which, when activated, increases page loading speed. It works quite simply - all downloaded web pages are first sent to the web browser developer's servers, where they are compressed. Well, the smaller their size, the faster they load on the user’s computer. This function is also implemented in Yandex Browser.

Having normal speed Internet connection, you most likely will not even notice the acceleration from the turned on Turbo or, on the contrary, you will feel the opposite effect. If there are problems with the site, acceleration is also unlikely to help. However, when the current speed is significantly insufficient for fast loading pages, this mode will partially (or even completely) help solve this problem.

If Turbo is enabled in Yandex Browser, you will have to “pay” for it possible problems with loading videos, images and reducing their quality. However, you not only get faster downloads, but also traffic savings, which can be important if you have a poor connection or a limited tariff plan.

Turbo does not process pages that operate using the HTTPS protocol (sites such as online banks, payment systems such as WebMoney, Yandex.Money, and other resources with confidential data). Data that is entered into the authorization form (login and password) and for making electronic payments(card number, CVV/CVC code, date). This is done for the purpose of user safety and full private work with personal data. However, keep in mind that pages will load as if Turbo was disabled.

Enabling Turbo mode

When you realize that the current connection speed through Yandex.Browser is not enough, enable page loading acceleration. To do this, click on the menu button in the upper right corner and select from the drop-down list "Turn on turbo".

Accordingly, in the future, all new tabs and reloaded pages will be opened through this mode. After activating it, a rocket icon will appear in the smart bar, notifying you that Turbo is now running.

By clicking on it, you can see how much traffic has been saved.

Please note that videos on some sites will not play automatically - a notification will be displayed instead “The video is hidden to save traffic”. To play it, you just need to left-click on the gray window.

Setting up Turbo operation

In addition to quickly enabling this tool, the user also has access to some additional features. You can customize automatic activation Turbo mode when the speed drops. To do this, click on the menu button and select "Extras".

In the block "Convenient tools" find "Turbo" and give it a value "Auto". This way, the tool will turn on only when the connection speed drops to 128 Kbps and continue to work until it rises to 512 Kbps. If you give it a value "On", content compression will always occur - this is convenient if you have been using a poor connection for a certain period of time or have limited traffic(for example, a 3G modem or a mobile connection using a smartphone).

This function, as well as its other parameters, are also available in "Settings".

Select a section on the left "Tools", where to find the block "Turbo". Here you can also set the format of the tool. Additionally, you are asked to enable/disable notification about a drop in Internet speed (a line with a notification will appear above the site page) and manage video compression (by default, in Turbo mode, it is always compressed, which is why its quality becomes lower).

In this easy way you can get several advantages from Turbo mode at once. Use this tool wisely and do not turn it on at high Internet speeds: you can only truly appreciate the quality of its work in less comfortable conditions.

Do you have Yandex Browser installed and is it loading pages slowly? This problem is easy to fix. You just need to turn on the turbo mode in Yandex, and it will fly like a rocket! And in the literal sense. After all, the turbo mode button in Yandex Browser just has a rocket icon :)

What is turbo mode

The new Yandex Browser is quite fast and nimble. Opens any page in literally 1-2 seconds. But provided that you have the same fast Internet. What should those who have a slow Internet connection do?

Especially for such users there is a magic turbo button in Yandex Browser. This option is a real salvation for all users who have slow Internet or limited traffic. You just need to activate turbo mode in Yandex Browser, and pages will start loading much faster.

By the way, Turbo mode was first invented by Opera developers. And only then they began to use it in other browsers.

So, we've sorted out the theory, let's move on to practice.

2 ways to activate Turbo mode

There are two ways to activate Turbo mode in Yandex Browser. The most convenient is the first one (by the way, it appeared not so long ago - it didn’t exist before).

So, to enable this option, you just need to press the magic button. For this:

  1. Launch your browser.
  2. Click on the 3 stripes in the right corner.
  3. Select "Enable turbo".

Please note that a small rocket icon has appeared in the address bar. This means that you did everything correctly, and the turbo mode really works.


For getting additional information, you can click this icon. It shows the operating time of the turbo mode, as well as the amount of traffic saved.

If necessary, you can also enable Wi-Fi protection if you are using a laptop or mobile device.

There is also a second way:



Please note: there are 3 buttons to choose from - “On”, “Off” and “Auto”. Everything is clear with the first two, right? What does the "Auto" button do? It's simple: it activates turbo mode in automatic mode– when a slow Internet connection is detected. If the speed is normal, then this option will be disabled.

In some cases, due to traffic savings, videos may not be displayed on sites. However, this is easy to fix - click the “Show content” button, and Turbo technology will immediately start the video.


How to disable Turbo mode in Yandex

If for some reason you no longer need this option, you can easily turn it off. And also in two ways.

The first is to click on the 3 bars and select “Disable Turbo”. The rocket icon in the address bar will disappear and this option will be disabled.


At the end of the 2000s, developers from Opera came up with and implemented the “Turbo” function in their browser. This function allowed users global network Internet to always be connected, even with poor signal quality. IN this moment This feature is not as relevant as before, but sometimes it would be very useful. Unfortunately, the developers from the Mozilla Corporation team do not want to follow their direct competitors from Google Chrome and Opera and did not implement it into their search engine"Turbo" mode. There is no turbo mode as such; there are only means that simulate the functionality of a useful mode to save Internet traffic. Although, according to rumors, in the near foreseeable future a new ultra-fast Internet browser “Firefox Rocket” is preparing to be released, which is already available to residents of Indonesia.

Therefore, this article will not talk about how to enable turbo mode in Mozilla, but how to save Internet traffic by using your favorite browser without changing your preferences.

  1. Option .
  2. You can try the following:

Open hidden menu Mozilla browser Firefox by typing in search bar"about:config" assuming all risks in case of changes to factory settings.

Among the many parameters you need to find “network.prefetch-next” and double click left mouse button to change it from “true” to “false”. This feature will be disabled, and the technology of preloading web content will not waste precious traffic.

  1. Option to use additional extensions.

Good day to all! In this article I want to tell you how to enable turbo mode in the Yandex browser. It takes a lot of nerves if the global network is very slow and the page takes a long time to load. Yandex is a fast browser, but it still can’t always make the Internet faster. Perhaps few people know, but there are solutions in this case.

The speed has dropped to 128 kb/sec, then the provided mode will be enabled by default. To turn off or turn on the turbo mode yourself, you need to do the following:

  • Find “Settings” in the menu.

  • The following inscription will appear below: “Show additional settings", you need to click on it.

  • Go to the “Turbo” section and select “Automatically turn on on a slow connection” there.

  • You can also specify the “Always on” option. In this case, a special rocket icon will be shown, which symbolizes the activation of this mode.

Nuances

  1. It is worth remembering some nuances here. If you have high speed global network, then you should not enable this mode.
  2. Blocked content is highlighted in a rectangle with the inscription “Content hidden to save traffic.”

Click on the rocket icon and click "Show All". This way you can load all the page elements. In turbo mode, pages with an “https” address do not function.
