If you aren't already using Mozilla's Firefox browser, drop everything immediately and make the switch. We could start listing all the reasons why it's a superior web browser - pop-up blocking, tabs, enhanced security, the plethora of custom extensions - but then we'd melt into a heap of gushy software rapture. And that would be a little creepy. Even for us.
If you're already using Firefox on a broadband connection, here's some tweaking you can do to make your browsing even faster.
1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
