Back in 2006 Opera was the first major browser to include BitTorrent support.

Today, however, it has another interesting feature for BitTorrent users.

The browser offers a “Turbo” service which makes websites load faster for users on a slow connection.

“When Opera Turbo is enabled, webpages are compressed via Opera’s servers so that they use much less data than the originals. This means that there is less to download, so you can see your webpages more quickly,” Opera explains.

But this feature does more than that. It also unblocks Pirate Bay for those who can’t access it.

Blocked Internet subscribers can simply click the “Turbo” button in Opera and TPB loads just fine.

Totally secure, and perhaps even faster before.
