The Internet has become an integral part of the life of modern society. Users not only spend time on entertainment, but also learn and work through the global Web. But despite the rapid development of technology, the problem of slow connection is still relevant.
This material is intended to help those for whom the World Wide Web is an important part of life. From it you will learn how to enable the "Turbo" mode in the Opera browser. But first, some necessary information.
What is this mode?
“Opera Turbo” is a free service, the purpose of which is to increase the speed of browsing the Internet, with a slow connection. This mode brings the modem connection closer to the broadband type. Installing Opera Turbo is necessary when the data transfer rate is either unstable or so low that it cannot open even slightly loaded pages.
How it works?
Turbo is a proxy server that compresses downloadable pages. This process saves up to 80% of traffic. If you need to open the original size of a graphic file when working with it, right-click on it and activate the "Reload image in original quality" item.
The function has three categories:
- Auto. The mode will be launched only when the connection speed is unsatisfactory.
- Switched on. Turbo is constantly running.
- Disconnected. All pages are loaded in standard mode.
Below are some simple ways to talk about how to turn on the “Opera Turbo”.
Using Extensions
The first option to use the mode offers to activate a special extension that will create a button that allows you to quickly and easily launch Turbo. To activate it, you must:
- From the browser’s express panel page, open the settings and control window. This is the Opera logo located in the upper left corner.
- After opening the context menu, select a paragraph called "Extensions". There will be a transition to the store of special programs for "Opera".
- You must open the Accessibility category and find the Turbo button application. You can also enter this name in the add-ons search bar.
- Select "Add to Opera." In the upper right corner (opposite the address bar), the “Turbo Opera” power button will appear. Once the connection is no longer stable, just click on it.
Turning on the mode in the standard way
The easiest way to check the status and start the mode:
- In the lower left corner of the browser find the corresponding icon.
- Hover over it with your mouse. After this action, a prompt will appear informing you whether Turbo is on or not.
- To activate the function, click on the shortcut. When “Turbo” is on, its color will turn green.
In the same way, deactivation of the mode occurs. It is necessary:
- Click on the subroutine shortcut.
- Wait for it to turn red.
- Check the status by hovering over the mouse.
In the absence of a desire to constantly enable and disable Turbo manually, you can start it in automatic mode.
How to enable Opera Turbo in the latest browser version
After the release of the new update of the Opera, the function of turning on the Turbo mode disappeared from the main browser screen. To enable it, you must do the following:

- After that, all available settings and options will be displayed in the browser.
- While in the same section, you need to scroll the right side of the screen to the very bottom of the page.
- There will be a subsection "Opera Turbo". To start it, just check the box next to “Enable Opera Turbo”.
