Tag: Fast Browsing

When it comes to speed browsing, Opera has made significant improvements in an attempt to beat Firefox Mozilla. Without a doubt, FirefoxMozilla is the best overall web browser that you can find on planet earth, and to find out if Opera Turbo is up to scratch, you have to test the two browsers on slow internet. The laudable thing about Opera is that it is one of the most innovative browsers after Firefox Mozilla. It has managed to come up with a unique innovative technology that allows for faster browsing on slow internet. If you have been struggling to log into Gmail faster or browse any website with lightning speed, then one of the things you should do is try Opera Turbo. It is recommended to have multiple browsers on your computer for testing purposes, but you will always use the default browser on your computer subconsciously most of the time.

What makes Opera unique is that it has one of a kind technology which originated from the experimental Opera Mini browser for mobile devices. Users of mobile devices know that websites load faster on this platform than on a computer with extremely slow internet. This experiment led to the development of Opera Turbo, a speed browser for Windows and Mac OS computer systems.

When you install Opera Turbo on your computer, you are supposed to notice a huge increase in website loading speed when you are connected to slow internet. A small increase in website loading speed should be noticed on faster internet but there will be a significant reduction in consumed bandwidth. Bandwidth is the flow of traffic caused by visitors to the site in a specific period of time.

The Opera Turbo browser works by compressing the traffic (data), sending it to Opera Turbo servers for further compressing. After compressing the data, the servers will unpack the data and send it to the user. This operation significantly reduces the loading time of any website that is accessed via the Opera Turbo browser. It has been reported that the servers can compress the data by as much as 80% of the original size but users will still be able to see the original layout of the website, meaning that there will be no loss of information except reductions in image resolution.

Opera Turbo will not re-route and compress secure WebPages that make use of an SSL certificate, instead these pages will be accessed directly. Examples of such WebPages include payment processors, bank account logins or any encrypted webpage.

After reading this post, you should have an idea about the benefits of using Opera Turbo. The advantages of Opera Turbo are as follows:

–          Faster web browsing
–          Reduced system bandwidth
–          Reduced internet costs for internet plans that charge per megabyte.

–          Save you from stress caused by slow internet.
–          Log into Gmail and other Email much faster
