I would submit media except that I would not be able to fully show the greatness of my experience!!!!

When I first installed the Opera 10 alpha I was amazed at the speed at which is loaded pages. Opera 9 is fast but 10 made it seem even faster!!!!!!!

Then I found that there was a "opera turbo" feature so I tried it. BANG never going back! My connection crashes every evening (probably due to overload) and can be slower than slow dial-up (I am using a satellite link). With Opera Turbo I can still browse even under these adverse conditions!!!!! I now run Opera 10 on my living room computer just so I can use Turbo.

The only complaint I have is that some websites such as Facebook and Tribal Wars don't work properly. I understand why and don't think it can be fixed. It would be nice if you could add a filter so that it automatically didn't use turbo for certain sites. Beyond that I love it. I am using it right now, tonight is the worse its been in awhile. It is claiming only x3 compression and the images look great!

Keep up the good work Opera ASA!

Edit: I have decided to post screenshots afterall but I cannot upload until my connection is better.

Second Edit:
...and here they are


Third Edit:
I have just created a presentation in OpenOffice. I would have uploaded as a video but I can't, and the export as swf option dosn't include auto timing and sounds.

Note: Once you play on the first slide just leave it and it will play with the timings I intended.

Forth Edit:
I now have a Blog Entry basically summing up this post :cheers:.

I love Opera Turbo!! It makes websites load faster! Its compression rivals that of Firefox and Google Chrome. This browser works great.

Think original.......Think Opera!!

Be different.....choose Opera!

I have been using Opera 10 Beta for a couple weeks now without problems.

My experience with Opera 10? One word, surprise. :eek:
Whenever I go to Facebook, or any other websites w/ flash, using IE, it takes just like forever for the sites to load. But it's a different story with Opera browser. :happy: :happy: :happy:

Opera ‘ Turns Turbo - so Browse me

There once was a browser that ran very slow,
Its true potential it did not know.
In the technology race it struggled last,
Starting to lose all hope as it got passed.

Its Customers encouraged the Opera engineers to just do their best,
Although it hurt to try and run with the rest.
They tried to perfect day after day,
Praying to God "Just let me browse away."

They never wanted to quit and hated the pain.
But always knew what they had to gain.
One day while they sat at work all alone,
They heard a ring and answered the phone.

" Hello?" They asked in a strange voice.
The caller told then that had but one choice;
"You can give up in pity, you can hide in shame
Or do what you must to get back in the game."

Later that week they gained in face,
Starting off faster and faster with the Browser at a much quicker pace.
They knew that no one believed they could win;
and they were all on their own using their strength from within.

The engineers began to make progress with the browser and open their stride.
The customers cheered on and they were filled with pride.
At the finish they were so pleased they made the line,
Winning the ‘Fastest Browser with a record time.

Questions were asked all and about,
But there was only thing the customers wanted to shout:
"Anything is possible when you believe
You can attain whatever you set out to achieve."

‘Come on Opera!’

turbo is power-packed and sure to please,

it opens pages without a wheeze,

other browsers wish they were the same,

but in comparison, they're all kinda lame

so give it a try, you'll be amazed

get aboard, join the turbo crazed

I think that was a flash file (flv or swf). Opera doesn't support flash file compression. It just blocks them by default, giving you the option of loading them if you wish.

Amazing video btw can you tell me how you added that button the left of opera turbo since I don't have it(those arrows). And how did you disable sychronization.

please ??????????:lol:

Anyways Opera turbo is amazing. It was showing 10x in there and only little of the quality was gone.

Well I'm impressed with the speed of Opera 10 so far. On my system it has competition (I also have a new Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1pre) Gecko/20090611 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Shiretoko/3.5pre and I have two Webkit browsers, Midori and Chromium).

I amost missed the whole point of Turbo - but right now my bandwidth tends to test well, so I guess I'll let you know when I can't load any pages in Firefox and can open them all in Opera.

I'll keep them all running, and see which is best (but I'll never actually 'switch' because I support 'choice', not any particular browser. Otherwise, when one browser is better, everyone switches and creates monopoly rather than competition).

Saturday, 13. June 2009, 12:34:05



Well, at first I was imperessed of the new experience. But I also have found some negative aspects. When Opera Turbo is activated, I cannot log in into ANY page. And when I wanted to watch my MySpace site they will load ne norwegish language, because the Turbo-servers are standing there (I am from germany).

To the Picture. I was thinking of unreachable speeds. I am a big Star Trek fan and so I took this picture, modified it and here it is. Warp 10 is the unrechable speed in the Star Trek-Universe. Opera Turbo will be enabled in Opera 10. So I put these two tens together :wink:

so far,
Christian

This is my first Opera 10 work of art. It took me one hour and I used Gimp 2.6. Background photo is by bluegum and I found it on www.sxc.hu.

At first I used the word Showtime. But later on the word Browsetime came to my mind and I liked it more :-).

I downloaded Opera 10 yesterday and was totally blown away by the speed of "turbo" on my GPRS Internet connection. GPRS (slow internet over a GSM cell phone line) is the only Internet I have available in my rather remote area of Costa Rica.

Opera 10 beta has other great new features (such as HTML email composition and forwarding), and the program seems "lighter" (loads and shuts down faster) then the version 9 series. Despite the "beta" classification, it appears very stable.

I am EXTREMELY pleased with Opera 10, and I want to congratulate the developers of Opera for this outstanding and innovative achievement. Opera turbo has transformed my web browsing experience!

EDIT 1: Using Opera 10 turbo, I was able to open this page fast in just a few minutes. My turbo meter showed 5x compression. For comparison, I tried opening the same page on Firefox, and finally gave up and stopped it after about 15 minutes. Most of the graphics still had not loaded.

I found out the origin of Opera Turbo!!

very time in my opera
I see you. I scrap you.
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the browsers
And bookmarks between us
You have come to show you “ offline”.
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the spped dial list does go on
Once more you logged it on
And you're here in my forum book
And my buddy listwill go on and on
Password can touch us one time
Widget last for the lifetime
And never let go till we're logged on
Love was when I saw your support list
One true time I hold tools
In my life histoey surely view her/his profile
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the friends list does go on
Once more you logged on
And you're here in my forum
And my dial page will go on and on
There is some amazon profile that will not
go away
You're here, there's so much to fear,
And I know that my friend will know I checked her out
We'll stay forever this way
You are save in my friends list
And my bookmark list will go on

I have just made the switch from Internet Explorer to Opera. It took me twenty seconds from first eye contact to realize that I would do it. I c/p'ed over all my open tabs and now I'm here. Why? I live in Berlin and I'm online via 3G using my phone as a modem. Using other browsers, especially IE, I tore my hair out waiting for sites to load. I am leading the marketing department of a small software company, and one of my jobs is to keep the site and the blog up to pace, publishing the latest pictures and stories. I love to work outside, especially now that it's summer, and though I won't be able to reduce my upstream, Opera just saved my day just loading websites. Keep up the good work, Opera team.

Now, I am a web developer. I have been against using anything but firefox for quite some time now. Don't get me wrong, there is that other browser I am forced to test in due its high popularity. But I fix that a little at a time in my own ways of persuasions. So, today I was sent an article about Opera Unite. I thought to myself, this can't be real. So I download it. It's real, and it holds to its promises. In trying to figure out how much of opera can be pulled into this, I found the turbo option. Oh dear lord. I was actually stuck trying to download a page, and when I turned it on, it refreshed, and rendered it right away. (clap) you sure got my attention. And have made a new fan. I am now an Opera fanboy.

p.s. I have been using opera on my touch pro for quite a while now. LOVE IT... and I really want that shirt. :D

here's my own experience with opera turbo :D

Saturday, 20. June 2009, 11:18:18

Hi,
Is it correct that Opera 10 replaces, rather than updates the previous 9.64 or have I done it wrong. I have had to completely set up "10" with all my old favourites, tool bar etc.
Had I known this would be the case, I probably wouldn't have bothered. However, it is fast. Will there be an upgrade which retains all the the tabs and favourites of 9.64 after the beta period?
Regards
Phil
