Opera Turbo


KotaXor

Recommended Posts

Opera Turbo is a new server-side optimization and compression technology that provides significant improvements in browsing speeds over limited-bandwidth connections by compressing network traffic. This does not only make you surf faster, but also lowers the cost of browsing when you are on a pay per usage plan.

Today Opera team has released a preview version of Opera 10 which contains this new "Opera Turbo" technology. When turned on, Opera Turbo will display the average compression rate. Hover your mouse over the Opera Turbo icon to see a tooltip with the amount of bandwidth saved as long as it has been enabled.

Hmmmm, should I be using Opera?

:rolfz:

I do (have limited usage Internet account and use opera)

No major difference in total performace between 10.0 and turbo, apart from compressed images/some logos are lesser rendering quality- so ever so litle faster...

I might apreciate it more in along run?

Teeny/weeny tip for everybody else using Opera:

once open, on any page (IE cluttered) right click; bottom option full screen- and to exit the same!

well at first I was going to replace the English link with the int one..and let the user just chose his lang, and replace the old alpha version with the turbo one...

but I don't know if the turbo ed is the normal alpha, but with the turbo upgrade incorporated....so I dragged out the listing

To put is short latest alpha build is 1345 but Opera Turbo 10.0 is Build 1355 , and it's nothing than a renamed the regular alpha build into Opera Turbo , it's just a regular alpha build. precursor of the desktop build.

Opera Turbo will be part of future desktop versions

This is a time-limited release, but the feedback we receive from this test release will help us determine how and when to move forward with Opera Turbo.

They just renamed the regular alpha build into Opera Turbo , to make people try the new feature, so it's not a new product just a renamed alpha.

Didn't like it at all, 90% of the pages I tested came out all messy, even turning turbo off. I used to like Opera but now Firefox is just too hot.

Hmmm... do you mind posting what pages are messy?

Thanks!

Sure,

gotfrag.com, also forum pages where opera didn't render some tabs.

rlslog.net, 70% of the images didn't render

baixaki.com.br got stuck at 69 of 79 web elements, took sooo long to load it all, aprox. 8min

And some more, i googled some random pages to test can't remember right now, maybe I exaggerated a bit, could be something between 60-70%.

There seems to be some problems with gmail as well.

Yep1 not brilliant, had to switch turbo off- worked flawless. Cant report an error to opera as without turbo (as expected) all is well....

Don't get me wrong Atasas, i really like opera, at the moment it's my second choice, i'm not trying to bash your post, infact i got excited because i don't care most of the time how images appear, i don't note them anyways, well pr0n pics sometimes, but i noted some annoying errors in this version. :/

Agreed! some passwords, some images aren't appearing well in turbo mode
