I use IE almost all the time, last time I tried firefox it hated me. But im giving it a second chance. If you have a faster internet connection (avoid this if your dial up or somthing) I found these tweaks really make things go along faster. I use Verizon Fios 15mb/s down 2mb/s up for reference. 1.Type “about:config†|

Cool, glad it was of some use. IE7 is still just as fast for me, I know im baised since thats the only browser I have used for a long time, so im opening every page on both of them to compare lol. |

Well, the only decent browsers that I have are Safari and Firefox of witch I find Firefox the best. Safari does load pages faster though but now that isn't the fact anymore. :P Firefox just became a whole lot better. :P |

yea i knew about the pipelining parts i did that a while ago and noticed a slight speed increase now ill have to try the final one... im surprised i didnt think of posting the pipelining thing here... There is a noticeable speedup for me :D My broadband connection scored this after mods... speed tests dont change much from these but overall page response and loading does

This wont change your speed test results at all. It has to do with how you connect to a web page. I ran a speakeasy test earlier today and got 147xx mb/s down and 17xx mb/s up. Thats really close to what I am supposed to get so I cant complane. |
