I think it's the same thing Opera Mobile has been doing for a long time now ...
- mxxx 14y agoYeah, I remember having it on Opera Mini on my old Sony Ericsson, prior to the advent of 3G networks. It was extremely useful, actually.
- piyush_soni 14y agoOh Yes, sorry I meant Opera "Mini"! Opera Mobile is a full fledged mobile browser instead.
- ZeroGravitas 14y agoNo you were right. Opera Mobile has a "Turbo" mode that does almost the same thing as this. Opera Mini is a bit more extreme. Though there seems to be some confusion as Opera have been talking about combining both Mobile and Mini into one browser, and the new Webkit beta seems to be it. No one seems to know exactly which bits of each service have been retained.
- Lagged2Death 14y agoI look forward to the articles in a year's time pointing out that "Little-known browser Opera now offers a data compressing proxy mode similar to the system Chrome's used for almost twelve months."
- vivekjishtu 14y agoYes Opera Mobile has the turbo mode which is similar to this technology http://www.opera.com/turbo http://www.opera.com/turbo where it proxies the connection and compresses the data. Opera Mini on the other hand uses OBML http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-binary-markup-language/ http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-binary-markup-langu... which is an entirely different thing.
- StavrosK 14y agoOBML is a superset of a compressing proxy.
- Shorel 14y agoNow called Off road mode.
