“Turbo” mode is a useful feature of the Yandex, Opera, Chrome browsers, which allows you to speed up the loading of website pages with a slow Internet connection. Let's take a closer look at how the "Turbo" mode works in different browsers, in what cases it will really help, and what else the option does, besides increasing the speed of loading sites.
Why do you need the Turbo mode?
The developers came up with the Turbo mode Opera browser in 2009. At that time, the Internet was still slow for many (telephone modems) and the tariffs required payment for each megabyte of received or sent information, and the mode allowed for real savings. Now most people have unlimited access to the network, but speeding up downloads is still important on mobile connections and WiFi in public places.
The principle of operation of the “Turbo” mode in Opera and “Yandex Browser” is the same. With the option disabled, the user downloads the site directly to his computer, and when activated mode“Turbo” data is first downloaded to the Opera Software server and from there the page opens in a browser tab. On the Opera Software server, multimedia - pictures, videos, animations - are compressed and, with a slow connection, sites launch on the user's computer faster - the amount of information downloaded is smaller. The quality of videos and other things noticeably deteriorates, but you can watch a video, animation or picture even on a slow (2G) mobile Internet.
Due to the fact that the Internet browser does not connect directly to the site, but through Opera Software servers, in “Turbo” mode you can visit sites blocked by Roskomnadzor or your Internet provider. Access to prohibited resources is blocked at the provider level - Internet providers do not allow their subscribers to access pages from certain addresses. In “Turbo” mode, the connection goes directly to the Opera or Google servers if you use Chrome, so the provider does not record access to prohibited sites and cannot block them.
When you access a website with your browser's turbo mode enabled that determines your IP address, your location or provider, for example, visit us at home page, then you will see that the data is defined incorrectly. To be more precise, our service determines the IP address of the server that ensures the operation of the turbo mode and, based on it, determines the provider and your location.
"Turbo" in Chrome: traffic saving plugin
Chrome does not have a built-in “Turbo” mode, and before enabling accelerated loading of sites, you will have to download and install the official add-on from Google’s virtual storefront.
- Go to Chrome Webstore;
- Enter “Traffic saving” into the search;
- Find the extension of the same name from the Google developer;
- Add an extension to the browser;
- Close and launch the browser again.
The extension icon will appear in the upper right corner of the window. To activate the economy mode (“Turbo”), you need to click on the icon and check the only item “Traffic saving”. For compression, this mode works great - on some sites it “cuts off” up to 70% of unnecessary multimedia - advertising banners, animation, etc. - but it is not very suitable as a means of accessing blocked sites. We immediately located the device under test and did not find Turbo mode enabled in Chrome.
Opera Turbo to speed up your browsing experience
Opera Turbo worked and works for users of the original “opera” product and under a server rental agreement for users of Yandex Browser.
To activate the “Turbo” mode in the browser, open the menu (upper left corner) and check the “Opera Turbo” box.
In terms of traffic filtering and compression, the pioneer shows top scores than a Google product. The servers compress pictures, scripts, and even videos, although on the feature presentation page the developer still recommends setting the minimum online video quality for slow connections. It will be possible to access sites prohibited in Russia, although the vaunted Opera Turbo did not hide the tested computer from our watchful eye, and the enabled page loading acceleration mode was not detected.
"Turbo" mode in the Yandex browser
In Yandex Browser, the Turbo mode is organized using technology similar to the above-mentioned solutions. For compression, the same servers are used as in Opera. The "Turbo" mode in Yandex Browser is activated automatically by default - compression occurs only on a slow connection.
In the settings you can enable “Turbo” for all sites. Clicking on the rocket icon address bar allows you to activate it for an individual page (if it is always disabled) or allow the site to load in a tab without acceleration (if it is always enabled).
If necessary, individual blocked elements are activated by clicking - click “Unblock content” and see compressed video online through a narrow channel at a per-megabyte rate. In the drop-down menu, which can be opened by clicking on the rocket in the address bar, there is an “Unlock All” option, which activates all blocked items.
In page loading speed Mobile Internet(Huawei 3G modem, mobile operator LifeCell, coverage is terrible) Yandex Browser has outperformed its competitors. With interactive page elements disabled social networks, portals, services loaded almost instantly.
In the “Turbo” mode, it was possible to bypass the blocking of individual blocked sites, but you can’t fool us. The service calculated the location of the computer the first time, but did not notice the “Turbo” mode.
In terms of loading speed of sites in “Turbo” mode on a slow Internet, “Yandex Browser” surpassed everyone, Opera showed its class in providing access to blocked sites, although the site did not see Opera Turbo, and Chrome with its “Traffic Saving” add-on did a good job of reducing the weight of downloaded pages. Other closest competitors - Firefox and Vivaldi - did not find anything similar, except third party applications. Does the enhanced “anti-spyware” “Tracking Protection” in Firefox work according to a similar scheme, but only in “Incognito” mode, so it’s too early to call it a full-fledged analogue.
The “Turbo” mode is a necessary thing, only each browser has its own option and you need to choose a browser according to your needs: speed up (Yandex), save ( Google Chrome) or access blocked sites (Opera).
Saving traffic is a useful feature of the Google Chrome mobile Internet browser installed on smartphones with operating system Android. Statistics show that the Chrome browser is quite popular not only among users personal computers, as well as smartphone owners.
But despite this, not everyone knows about its built-in data compression function, which helps not only speed up the loading of web pages, but also significantly saves limited traffic. And as practice shows, you no longer need to use additional programs for such functionality.
Attention, 20% is an average compression percentage, which can also change up or down. This will all depend on the content you view on various websites, for example images loaded by the browser are given an excellent degree before being displayed.
It is also worth noting that this functional feature will not work when viewing sites received via the secure HTTPS protocol and with activated safe mode. But a plus is the fact that it is possible to open sites blocked by the provider, automatically using Google proxy servers. Let's start setting up?!
TRAFFIC SAVINGS
Go to the Chrom menu and click on “Settings”.
Scroll down the screen a little and select “Data Saver”.
Set the switch to the “On” position.
After activating all the settings, you will have a graph with the corresponding compression indicators.
Saving traffic in Google Chrome is a particularly pressing issue for users who use metered internet. The limit of gigabytes, or even megabytes, specified in the terms of the package does not allow “on a grand scale” to exploit the resources of the Network. Everything is minimal - look at profiles on social networks, e-mail, download something useful, a book or utility (but small in size!), read news in the feed. And that's all! Well, if more... order, buy more traffic, gentlemen.
However, there are some tricks in Google Chrome that allow you to “shade” traffic while pages are loading. How to enable this saving mode, read this article.
"Tricky" addon from Google developers
In the official store you can download an extension that allows you to enable the “turbo” mode, or, if you prefer, the economy mode. In English it is called Data Saver, and in Russian - “Traffic Saving”.
Its operating algorithm is as follows:
- The user requests a web page in the browser.
- Chrome preloads it on a special Google server, where the requested data is compressed (reduced in volume).
- After processing, the page is redirected in compressed form directly to the user’s PC, to the browser.
Thus, thanks to pre-compression, the “weight” of a web page is reduced, and, accordingly, traffic consumption is reduced compared to standard (“direct”) loading of sites.
But there are limitations in this addon. It does not work when Incognito mode is enabled (anonymous web surfing), or on websites using the HTTPS protocol.
How to connect and install?
To download the “Traffic Saving” addon and enable “Turbo” mode, follow these instructions:
1. Open your browser, click the “Menu” button in the top panel.
2. In the list of sections, select “Settings”.
3. In the new tab, click the “Extensions” subsection.
4. Under the list of connected add-ons, click the “More extensions” link.
5. In the search bar, enter “traffic saving”. Press "Enter".
6. Click on the addon panel.
7. On the page that opens, click the “Install” button.
8. Confirm the connection: in the request window, select “Install...”.
Attention! In the version of the Chrome browser for Android mobile devices, the “Traffic Saving” module is integrated (you need to install it). It is activated in the menu: Settings → Advanced.
How to use?
After downloading and installation, the addon will automatically launch. Click on its icon in the upper right corner of Google Chrome to open the control panel.
It displays the compression level of the loaded page, as well as an option to temporarily disable the mode (the “Traffic Saving” window).
How to deactivate/remove the add-on?
Deactivation and complete uninstallation of the addon is performed using standard Chrome options ( in a standard way):
1. Open: Menu → Settings → Extensions.
2. In the “Traffic Saving” block:
- to deactivate, click to remove the “bird” in the “Enable” box;
- For complete removal- click the “Trash Bin” button.
Save traffic and your money! Have a comfortable web surfing!
Half of the population of our planet uses the Internet every day and often encounters long loading time website pages. You can smooth out this inconvenience and reduce the loading time of a web page in your browser by turning on turbo mode. This becomes possible by reducing the amount of downloaded information. The quality of images decreases and automatic downloading of video and audio files stops. Let's figure out how to enable turbo mode in browsers, for example, Opera?
Enabling turbo mode in Opera
Depending on the browser version, some interface elements may differ from the description in the article, but they are intuitively easy to find.
If you need to get the image in original quality, click on the picture and select “Reload image in original quality” from the menu.
Important! If there is a fast unlimited internet It is recommended not to use this browser feature because... In this case, you will not receive a significant reduction in page loading time, and a number of browser functions may be unavailable.
Enabling turbo in Yandex Browser
Yandex.Browser is another browser where you can enable turbo mode without installing additional plugins and add-ons. Auto mode turns on at 128 kbps and turns off at 512 kbps.
Let's look at enabling the turbo function in Yandex Browser:
Important! It is worth noting that this program can compress video, which saves traffic by 70 percent.
Save traffic for Google Chrome
Google Chrome does not initially have a built-in turbo mode function, so you first need to install the corresponding extension called “Traffic Saver”.
To install and activate the plugin:
fasTun Tool Add-on for Mozilla Firefox
As a solution for Mozilla Firefox You might consider the “fasTun Tool” add-on.
To install the add-on:
- Go to the add-on page and click the “Add to Firefox” button.
- Then click “Install”.
- After restarting the browser, the add-on will start working; you can configure it in “Manage add-ons”.
You can enable a feature called "Turbo" mode. Let's look at what this means and how to enable or disable Turbo mode. It is available in Yandex, Opera, and can be connected in Chrome, but in Firefox and Vivaldi there is no such function, you need to download add-ons.
Turbo is useful on low speed connections. Thanks to it, page loading speed increases significantly.
To save traffic and increase loading speed in browsers, there is a Turbo mode
This plugin appeared in 2009 thanks to the creators of the Opera browser. Many users in those years went to world wide web via telephone modems; The Turbo mode allowed not only to speed up the process of obtaining information, but also to save money, since the tariffs provided for payment for each received/sent megabyte. Today, in the era of unlimited access, download acceleration still remains relevant for mobile connections, also in public places for Wi-Fi.
Principle of operation
U different browsers This function works in a similar way. When a user normally downloads information, it comes from the site directly to the computer. When Turbo is activated, pages are initially uploaded to the browser developer's server, for example, Opera Software, where multimedia compression is carried out, then everything is opened to the user in a browser tab. This contributes to more fast loading. Of course, the quality of pictures and videos deteriorates, but the volume is smaller, and it is possible to view the material on mobile devices with a slow connection, say 2G.
Also, due to connecting to sites indirectly through the Software server, it becomes possible to view global network resources blocked by Roskomnadzor. Typically, access is blocked at the level of the Internet provider, which does not allow subscribers to view certain sites. In this case, with an entrance through Opera Software, the connection is made through the browser developer’s server, which means that the entrance to pages prohibited by the provider is not recorded and, accordingly, is not blocked.
Also note that on websites that detect , when the function is enabled, the data will be displayed incorrectly, since the service will determine the address not of yours, but of the server providing the Turbo function.
Let's look at how to enable Turbo mode in Opera and other browsers.
"Turbo" on Opera
Enter Opera in the browser menu (top panel, left). In the list that opens, find “Opera Turbo” and check the box there.
The second way to enable it is to click on the icon depicting a speedometer at the bottom left of the window, then click on “Enable Opera Turbo”.
The mode performs excellent compression, excellently filters traffic, and facilitates unhindered entry to sites prohibited for Russia.
How to disable Turbo mode in Opera if you want to view videos, pictures in good quality? To disable media compression, click on the image and select “Reload image in original quality” from the menu that appears.
Turbo activation on Yandex
Let's look at Turbo mode in Yandex, how to enable it permanently or for certain global network resources.
Yandex Browser loads pages the fastest even on the slowest connection, compared to other browsers.
The mode works similarly to “Opera Turbo” and is activated automatically during a slow connection. The same servers are used for compression. It is possible to configure the plugin to work continuously.
In the settings you can set the plugin to be enabled for all visited pages. If you only need it for certain sites, to activate Turbo on a specific page, click on the rocket in the address bar. Or you can go to Settings and select the options you need there. Helps bypass restrictions on viewing websites.
Connecting in Chrome
Google Chrome does not contain a built-in “Turbo” mode; to load pages faster, you should download and then install the official “Traffic Saver” add-on. Turn on Turbo mode in Google Chrome like this:
- Go to the Webstore online store.
- Enter “Traffic Saving” into the search bar.
- Once you find an extension from Google, add it to your browser.
- Close your browser and restart it.
- The extension icon will appear in the top right corner. To activate it, you need to check the box in the “Traffic saving” item.
This mode compresses up to 70% of unnecessary multimedia. But it does not open access to prohibited web resources.
To summarize, we note: the loading speed is higher than that of Yandex. Opera provides access to blocked pages for Russians most effectively. Google Chrome is the best at reducing the weight of loaded pages.
