Earlier you had the choice: Either you use Opera Turbo compressing proxy server for more surfing speed or the browser’s own VPN, one of the two put the other lame. Meanwhile, you only use VPN: The turbo functionality is no longer part of the functionality. At least you no longer run the risk of inadvertently deactivating VPN.
