I ran across this tweak and am impressed....

Short Internet Timeline:

33.6 Dialup + Ie = Death

56k Dial up + Ie = Slow

Broadband + Ie + 256 = Usable

Broadband + Ie + 3mb = Fast

Broadband + FireFox + 3mb = Faster

Broadband + FireFox + 3mb + tweak = INSTANANEOUS

I swear it loads before I click the mouse....

Give it a try and see what you think.......

Lately Firefox has been crashing on me (about 4 times over the last 2 days). Anyone else having this issue?

But I don't wanna... Actually, the last time it crashed was right here in MOV. I'm thinking its because I like to keep 5 or 6 programs up at a time (including Photoshop), I may just reinstall and see what happens

wah wah wah

Nothing beats good old Opera....

And I've used them all aside from Maxthon which I will probably install when I get home.

Opera 7.8 has full support for RSS/XML feeds as well *drool* No having to configure a stupid program just to pull my RSS feeds.

Adam, thats a pretty old "tweak." As far as I knew last, it just draws the page faster. It doesn't wait for content to be fully downloaded to create the page, it does it on the fly. The actual speed difference isn't that much, it just looks faster.

I could be wrong though. Thats what I read when it first came out though.
