[...] Opera Turbo has been added to the mobile web browser which is a compression technique that is routing Internet traffic through a server that is compressing the contents so that they can be delivered more rapidly to the user. The monthly bandwidth bill will also benefit from Opera Turbo as compressed data reduces the overall bandwidth consumption of the mobile device. [...]

@Juzam

A lot of sites don’t bother to setup compression (gzip, zlib, deflate) even if it is technically possible.

Also images can’t be reduced in size without quality loss, regular sites can’t change quality/size on the fly while additional filtering services can (service fetches full image, reduces quality and serves smaller to user).

So what is this compression? What’s the Disadvatage? If it’s that good, why doens’t simply every server send his traffic compressed?

So “Fox Boy” need to start their copy-writer right now LOL (just kidding).

Opera was so damn good when introducing new features, and their internet suite (not only web browser, but newsreader client, bit torrent client, IRC, mail client) has done well.

With ACID 3 100/100 on their “10″ and the upcoming Opera Turbo will be ultimate web experience (especially if Caracan has arrived), except for site that didn’t follow web standard :( (but their must be some workaround)

PS: I use Opera since v5.x (long before Firefox born) and still use it now :)

For desktop it’s going to be good but not extremely important. I do have “nice” 20Mb daily traffic limit at work so I would find use for that. But surviving without such just fine.

Sounds much better for netbooks/MIDs and rest of mobile stuff.

I am somewhat unhappy that my Nokia N810 uses Firefox-based browser in current OS version. :(

I think it is primarily meant for mobile usage and there the market share of the mini and mobile variants of opera is already way higher than 1%.
And since this will be offered to mobile network providers who can preinstall software on the phones they are subsidizing this shouldn’t be a problem.

That is wrong. It simply means that 99% of internet users will have to install a new program to enjoy the benefits. It doesn’t mean that they will be unable to. Opera runs on Mac, Linux, and even Windows so and user can install the software if he wants to.

This, in contrast to Internet Explorer, which only runs on about 88% of computers (Mac: 9%, Linux: 3%), and therefore one in nine computer users _cannot_ view IE-only content.

You can use Opera Mini full screen on you PC full screen. And the pages get compressed.

Wow, this actually seems very interesting to me! Hopefully this will be a free service for home use.

There problem is I’ve got a bandwidth limit of 25GB/month. So since I have a long list of sites I check daily, I mostly don’t have a lot of GBs left to download stuff.
So this would be a great solution to save some more bandwidth and instead to be able to download more! :D

And I don’t care if websites load a bit slower then, I can certainly live with that;)
