What is turbo mode
The new Yandex Browser is quite fast and nimble. Opens any page in literally 1-2 seconds. But provided that you have the same fast Internet. What should those who have a slow Internet connection do?
Especially for such users there is a magic turbo button in Yandex Browser. This option is a real salvation for all users who have slow Internet or limited traffic. You just need to activate turbo mode in Yandex Browser, and pages will start loading much faster.
This is ensured by the fact that all information is processed on the server side by Yandex. Plus, some elements (pictures, videos) may not load at all. As a result, this speeds up page loading and saves traffic.
By the way, Turbo mode was first invented by Opera developers. And only then they began to use it in other browsers.

Airplane mode: how to activate turbo in browsers
Often, you can speed up the loading of sites using capabilities built into browsers, which are generally called “turbo mode”.

The essence of the mode is that first the necessary pages are compressed on the browser server and only then, in compressed form, they are loaded on the user’s device. This allows you to simultaneously speed up loading, even with poor internet, and save traffic.
It is important to remember that not all browsers have “turbo mode” - Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge do not provide it at all, and in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Safari you will need to install extensions to implement accelerated page loading.
Opera
A browser that is primarily associated with “turbo mode”. In the PC version, it is activated through the “Settings” menu, where you need to select “Show additional settings” and activate the Opera Turbo item in the “Browser” tab. In the mobile version, you need to go to the settings and enable the “Traffic saving” item.
"Yandex browser".
The Russian application automatically activates “turbo mode” when the Internet speed drops to 128 kbps or lower. But you can turn on turbo manually - find the corresponding section in the settings and there either turn on “turbo mode” forever, or turn it off forever. In the mobile browser, you can also configure “Turbo Mode” through the settings - turn it on automatically, activate it permanently, or deactivate it permanently. A special feature of Yandex.Browser is the ability to compress video at the cost of its quality, but traffic will be saved and download speed will increase.
Google Chrome
In the desktop version, you will need to install the “Traffic Saving” extension in the browser and activate it, and in the mobile version, just find the “Advanced” item in the settings and activate the “Traffic Saving” section there.
Mozilla Firefox
The version for computers does not include either a standard “turbo mode” or corresponding extensions - you can only install ad blockers to somehow make loading pages easier. In the mobile version of the browser, in the “Options” menu there is a “Advanced” section, where in the “Traffic Saving” tab you can select options for loading images and using fonts on sites.
Safari
The desktop version of the browser also offers to save traffic through third-party banner cutters, and the mobile version can be accelerated using the paid Speedafari extension.
How does a turbo work?
The main idea of turbo mode is to automatically speed up the loading of web pages on a slow Internet connection. Thus, if you enable the automatic launch of turbo mode, then when the Internet speed decreases, page loading will be accelerated using this function. For example, you are launching a significant page, but there is not enough internet at all. At this time, 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.
How to enable turbo on a computer
So, you can activate turbo mode on your computer in several ways. The first is when the turbo turns on automatically, and the second is when the mode operates on a permanent basis. Both functions can be configured in the browser settings. Let's look further at an example.
Activate turbo permanently
Turbo mode on an ongoing basis will be useful for users who constantly use low-speed Internet. This way, you can maintain a good connection at any time of the day. To take advantage of all this, use the following instructions:
- Open Yandex on your computer and go to the settings section through the top drop-down menu.
- In the tab that appears, scroll down a little and find the “Turbo” block. In it, select “Always on”.
After following the instructions, your Yandex browser will be connected to turbo mode. You can disable it if necessary in the same menu.
Automatic switching on
In order to activate the automatic inclusion of turbo mode, you need to return to the menu that we opened in the previous section. After that, set the item to the “Automatically turn on when connection is slow” mode.
This method is well suited if you often move with your laptop and connect exclusively to a wireless network, which does not always work reliably.
