What is needed and how does the Turbo mode work in the Opera?

Fortunately, the gloomy times of dial-up have long ago passed. Yes, only our Internet providers do not know about this, so users often have to deal with monstrously slow loading of pages.

By the way, how does such a useful option turn on? To enable it, you need to find the "Settings" item in the general menu of the browser, find the sub-item "General settings". All this mess can be avoided simply by pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F12.

You should go to the "Web Pages" tab, find the "Turbo Mode" item, and then activate the "Enabled" option in the drop-down list. As a result, Opera browser, "Turbo" mode (how to include, we reviewed) which is such a multifaceted tool, makes it possible to visit sites blocked in our country.

Click on it and select the "Enabled" mode. In addition, you can familiarize yourself with the settings of the mode, if necessary, by activating them. After that, click on "OK".

But this remarkable option has one significant drawback. It's about the fact that the images on the page greatly deteriorate their quality. If you want to view a photo without looking at the cubes, just right-click on it by selecting "Reboot in Original Quality" in the context menu.
