blackbird71 last edited by@jazei, I think you'll find that among desktop browsers, only Opera and Yandex browsers have Turbo Mode (which actually uses a proxy server to compress data from websites before it's routed to the user).

It uses webkit and is based on Chromium if you're using Linux. I "think" it uses the Trident rendering engine for Windows OS but I'm not sure. I think it has limited add-ons and those are third party. Plus if you do a little digging you'll discover a lot of complaints about it crashing frequently and causing many pages to hang. if you don't like Opera, try Firefox.

I use Opera for some time, but from version 15 lost many features, so I try to find a browser that looks like Opera 12

You should use Firefox. I don't like anything from China, so I wouldn't use Maxthon.

Firefox extensions allow you to set up the browser to approximate your older Opera settings. And like Sidney, I'd be very careful about using a browser from China.

Since Opera went down the Chrome route, I've been using Maxthon. I've found it to be a little faster than Firefox, and with very few crashes. Maxthon does have a lot of skins, but not many extensions - for that, Firefox is unbeatable, and much better than either Opera or Chrome.
Opera 26 has I think, still got quite a long way to go before I can use it as my main browser.
If you are looking for a browser that's like Opera 12 you might like Otter - http://otter-browser.org/
