I just installed Firefox's plugin "Fasterfox" which claims to increase browsing speed. I haven't noticed any difference yet. Have you tried this plugin? Did you like it?
Yes, I'm using it. But just like you, I don't see any increasing performance. Some site are still slow to load. I guess it still depend on the server the site is using though. - Dynashox -
Hi Dynashox, Thanks for the feedback. I had a high expectation that this plugin would give me a lightning-speed browsing experience. I will for others' comments. If majority is not seeing any significant speed increase, I will just remove this plugin.
its probably a trojan <g> If you want faster browsing, use firefox 3.1 (not the current 3.0.x-stable branch) 3.1 has a new javascript engine (not turned on by default i believe) that's much faster. Or use opera. That's fast too.
Chrome is the choice for a faster browsing but it lacks the feature of addons. well lets see, may be in future developments.
I don't use fasterfox because a few websites refuse to work with that extension loaded (something about prefetching..)
Agree, i use google chrome. Is VERY fast. And good. But as he said, need some addons, but we will see it in the future, FOR SURE. MudiW Best Regards
I finally decided to remove Fasterfox plugin. All I learned about this plugin was nothing but hype. Instead of getting faster speed, I get a sluggish Firefox. I hope the developer of this plugin can improve it and meet people's expectations.
Exactly. What I did was to tweak the about:config settings of Firefox. There are 12 steps to do the tweakings. As a result, Firefox speed skyrockets.
