speed. We work hard to make our browser faster with features that
speeds you up, but your connection also plays a big role on how
fast you can go.

When turned on, Opera Turbo will display the average compression
rate. Hover your mouse over the Opera Turbo icon to see a tooltip

Opera Turbo doesn’t change
the Web site
Turbo uses a technology called “Opera Web Optimization Proxy”,
which is different from the Opera
Binary Markup Language used in Opera Mini.
Web sites layout and text will look exactly the same, but image
resolution may appear considerably lower as a result of the
compression.
