Google testing data compression proxy for faster Chrome mobile

No. Opera tends to only focus on lowering the quality of your images and video to make loads faster. Google is working to make the process of loading a page faster, and compressing the underlying code.

Most good sites run with underlying code already compressed for browsers that support it (all major one's do).http://adaptive-images.com/ takes care of images part for mobile devices but now the major issue is that with resolution px wars setting in for mobile devices all this image handling will become useless and redundant. Yes image quality still can be controlled by the script noted. For video yes there's nothing in sight but people on slow connection aren;t bothered about viewing videos on mobile in any case :)

Opera is going to facebook i guess so it will become as useless as FB in any case :)

That's what Google is aiming at under the garb of faster browsing. They want your entire website data also cached on their network. It's really getting dangerous.
