Turbo mode is a useful feature of Yandex, Opera, Chrome browsers, which allows you to speed up the loading of website pages with a slow Internet connection. Let's take a closer look at how the Turbo mode works in different browsers, in which cases it will really help and what else the option gives, in addition to increasing the speed of loading sites.

What is Turbo mode for?

Turbo mode was invented by the developers of the Opera browser in 2009. Then the Internet was still slow for many (telephone modems) and the tariffs assumed payment for each megabyte of received or sent information, and the mode allowed real savings. Now most people have unlimited access to the network, but speeding up downloads is still relevant on mobile connections, WiFi in public places.

The principle of operation of the "Turbo" mode for Opera and "Yandex Browser" is the same. With the option disabled, the user downloads the site directly to his computer, and when the Turbo mode is activated, the data is first downloaded to the Opera Software server and from there the page opens in a browser tab. On the Opera Software server, multimedia - pictures, videos, animation - are compressed and, with a slow connection, sites run faster on the user's computer - less downloaded information. The quality of video and other things deteriorates noticeably, but you can watch a video, animation or picture even on a slow (2G) mobile Internet.

Due to the fact that the Internet browser does not connect directly to the site, but through the Opera Software servers, in Turbo mode you can visit sites blocked by Roskomnadzor or your Internet provider. Access to prohibited resources is blocked at the provider level - Internet providers do not allow their subscribers to access pages with certain addresses. In Turbo mode, the connection goes directly to the Opera or Google servers if you use Chrome, so the provider does not record access to prohibited sites and cannot block them.

When you visit a site with your browser's turbo mode enabled that determines your IP address, your location or provider, for example, to us at home page, then you will see that the data is defined incorrectly. To be more precise, our service determines the IP address of the server that ensures the operation of the turbo mode and, based on it, determines the provider and your location.

"Turbo" in Chrome: traffic saving plugin

Chrome does not have a built-in "Turbo" mode and before enabling accelerated loading sites will have to download and install the official add-on from the Google Storefront.

• Go to Chrome Webstore;
• Enter in the search "Traffic saving";
• Find the extension of the same name from Google developer;
• Add an extension to the browser;
• Close and restart your browser.

The extension icon will appear in the upper right corner of the window. To activate the economy mode ("Turbo"), you need to click on the icon and check the only item "Traffic saving". For compression, this mode works perfectly - on some sites it “cuts off” up to 70% of excess multimedia - advertising banners, animations, etc. - but it is not very suitable as a means of accessing blocked sites. We immediately located the tested device and did not detect the enabled "Turbo" mode in Chrome.

Opera Turbo for faster networking

Opera Turbo worked and works for users of the original "opera" product and under a server lease agreement for users of "Yandex Browser".

To activate the "Turbo" mode in the browser, open the menu (left top corner) and check the box "Opera Turbo".

In terms of traffic filtering and compression, the pioneer performs better than the Google product. Servers compress pictures, scripts, and even videos, although on the function presentation page, the developer still recommends setting the minimum quality of online video for a slow connection. It will be possible to visit sites banned in Russia, although the vaunted Opera Turbo did not hide the tested computer from our watchful eye, the enabled page loading acceleration mode was not detected.

Turbo mode in Yandex browser

In Yandex Browser, the Turbo mode is organized according to a technology similar to the above solutions. For compression, the same servers are used as in Opera. Turbo mode in Yandex Browser is activated by default in automatic mode- compression occurs only on a slow connection.

In the settings, you can enable "Turbo" for all sites. Clicking on the rocket icon in the address bar allows you to activate it for a single page (if it is always off) or allow the site to load in a tab without acceleration (if it is always on).

If necessary, individual blocked elements are activated by clicking - click "Unblock Content" and watch the compressed video online through a narrow channel at a per-megabyte rate. In the drop-down menu, which can be opened by clicking on the rocket in the address bar, there is an item "Unblock all", which activates all blocked items.

In page loading speed through Mobile Internet(Huawei 3G modem, mobile operator LifeCell, coverage is terrible) "Yandex Browser" outperformed its competitors. With interactive page elements disabled social networks, portals, services were loaded almost instantly.

In the "Turbo" mode, it was possible to bypass the blocking of individual blocked sites, but you can't deceive us. The service calculated the location of the computer the first time, the Turbo mode did not notice.

In terms of the speed of loading sites in the Turbo mode on the slow Internet, Yandex Browser bypassed everyone, Opera showed a class in providing access to blocked sites, although the site did not see Opera Turbo, and Chrome with its “Traffic Saver” addon did a good job of reducing the weight of downloaded pages. Other closest competitors - Firefox and Vivaldi - did not have anything similar, except third party applications. Does the enhanced “anti-spyware” “Tracking Protection” in Firefox work in a similar way, but only in the “Incognito” mode, so it’s too early to call it a full-fledged analogue.

The "Turbo" mode is a necessary thing, only for each browser the option works in its own way and you need to choose a browser according to your needs: speed up (Yandex), save ( Google Chrome) or visit blocked sites (Opera).

Turbo Boost is proprietary Intel technology for an automatic computer. In this mode, it exceeds the nominal performance indicators, but only up to the “critical” level of heating temperature limits and consumed powers.

Features of activating turbo mode on laptops

Laptops can run on two sources: from the mains and batteries. When powered from a battery, the OS, in order to increase the operating time (by default), “tryes” to reduce energy consumption, including by reducing (CPU). Therefore, the inclusion of turbo mode on a laptop has a number of features..

In older models, the device BIOS had options to enable and configure this mode. Now, manufacturers are trying to minimize the possibility of user intervention in the operation of the CPU, and often this parameter is missing. Technology can be activated in two ways:

• Through the operating system interface.
• Through BIOS.

How to enable Turbo Boost through the Windows interface

You can influence the state of the turbo mode by setting desired values in the "Minimum Processor State" and "Maximum Processor State" settings in the active power plan:

• In the next section, click on the link "Change advanced power settings".
• In the drop-down list of the "Power Options" dialog, we find the item "CPU Power Management".

Activate turbo mode via BIOS

This option to enable Turbo Boost on a laptop is suitable for advanced users. It is based on resetting all BIOS settings to default values:

• Let's go to the BIOS.
• At the end of the menu we find the section "Load Default".
• Reset all settings.

To monitor the state of the turbo mode, you can use the utility Intel Turbo Boost Technology Monitor.

Turbo mode was first introduced by the developers of Opera and migrated from there to all mobile browsers. It is designed to save mobile traffic. But some sites refuse to work in Turbo mode, so you have to turn it off. How to do it - in this article.

Why you need Turbo mode in browsers

To save traffic, site pages are sent to the server, compressed, and already in a compressed state are sent to the client's smartphone. How useful is this feature in your case?

Let's take Google Chrome as an example, where the Turbo mode is called Data Saver. To find out the compression efficiency, go to settings mobile browser and select Data Saver. In my case, its efficiency is 6%.

Here are the statistics for the month of use.

According to experts google real savings can reach 60%. This means that pages will load a little faster. Traffic bills, if you do not have unlimited, should also decrease.

How to turn off economy mode

Go to google settings Chrome on your smartphone and turn off the Data Saver toggle.

The turbo-dependent site will immediately start working. Only after visiting it, do not forget to turn the box back on. This will positively affect the speed of surfing and reduce the cost of mobile megabytes.

Turbo in Yandex.Browser

In Yandex.Browser, page compression during transmission is enabled automatically when the connection speed drops to 128 Kbps or lower. And when it grows more than 512 Kbps, it turns off.

Pages in a secure HTTPS connection are not compressed and are not sent to Yandex servers for greater security.

The Internet browser from Yandex quickly occupied its niche among similar applications. Many users note the advantages of the browser, which are the reasons for downloading and installing it. So, in the Yandex browser, the turbo mode became available not so long ago, however, it was very quickly appreciated by the target audience.

Working principle of Turbo

If you turn on Turbo mode, then before opening a site, the browser will send information about it to Yandex servers. Here they are compressed and then transferred directly to the computer. How beneficial is this option?

In fact, it allows you to significantly save traffic. Users with slow or limited download volumes will appreciate this function. If you enable turbo mode, Yandex browser will automatically disable those elements on web pages that are overweight. Instead, a special icon will appear, by clicking on which you will start downloading them manually.

Turbo mode features

Thus, we can say that the Yandex Turbo browser has its own characteristics. By the way, they distinguish this function from a similar one that is available in the Google Chrome Internet browser. In order for the option to fully work, you will need Yandex.Browser version 1.1 or higher. The default settings are automatic switch on Turbo in case the Internet speed drops below 128 Kbps. If the speed rises above 512 Kbps, then the option is disabled. In other words, the question of how to turn on the Yandex turbo browser is usually not faced by users.

The only thing to consider is that payment systems and mail services cannot be loaded through this technology. You will not be able to save traffic if you need to work with them. The security of the browser is quite high. Before opening, all resources are checked through Yandex services, and if a threat is detected, a message about this appears before the user.

The best option is to download from the turbo from the official website of the developer. Of course, you can use other offers that are available on the network. But do not forget that the browser is offered by developers for free. Therefore, if you are asked to send money via paid SMS or in another way, then you have come across scammers.

What exactly does the Yandex browser turbo button give? Pages load much faster even with a low connection speed, so, for example, you will not need to do it yourself. The developers themselves promise that this parameter is increased by 35%. Like it or not - it is difficult for a simple user to determine. However, the fact that websites do open faster is noted by many reviews of those who work with this Internet browser. If you are not satisfied with the automatic switching on and off of the mode, then you can change the settings manually.

In order to forcibly activate or deactivate the technology, you need to go to the browser settings and go to additional options. You can immediately click on the Turbo icon, which you will find at the top of the screen and it will look like this. Here you can see the amount of saved traffic. We select the mode we need to turn off or turn off. Also, do not forget to update the Yandex Turbo browser there for yourself.

The developers have provided this option for the convenience of the user. In this way, you can save quite a decent amount of traffic. In addition, Yandex.Browser automatically blocks pop-up windows. If you are not interested in these options, then simply disable their automatic operation in order to activate them yourself if necessary.

Facing a slow internet connection and your browser is unable to load web pages? Not a problem if you use a browser from Yandex! It has a special function that allows you to speed up the launch of Internet pages. It is called "Turbo Mode" and is available to all users.

How a turbo works

The main idea of ​​the turbo mode is to automatically speed up the loading of web pages with a slow Internet connection. Thus, if you turn on automatic start turbo mode, then when the Internet speed decreases, page loading will be accelerated using this function. For example, you launch a powerful page, but the Internet is not enough at all. At this time, the turbo mode will try to speed up the loading of the web page, even taking into account the fact that there is practically no Internet.
