installed firefox and it's workin a treat on the net!

haven't had any pop-up's at all!

i've read something on a different forum and thought i'd ask u guys what you thought of it?

the thread is titled firefox + broadband

this is what he says

Want to go even faster?

Well I would like to take the credit, but its not my idea, but it works really well...
type "about:config" into your address bar, wait for it to load, then alter the following entries:
change
"network.http.pipelining" to "true",
"network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" and lastly "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 30, meaning it will be able to make 30 requests at once.

Makes it so much faster... quality!

Speed up Mozilla!!!

I can't actually believe how much this sped up my internet.

And for a free download, its insane.

This site was taking me about 5 seconds to access ten minutes ago. I used this, and it did it instantly. Same for all pages I've come across.

Get it.

I posted that in Free Software thread about two weeks ago.

Does the same thing :good:
 
I thought internet explorer was good enough and all this hype for firefox was, just hype but after downloading it i must say it is much better than ie. Guess i need to try things before i make up my mind in future :)
 
Guess I am just different, I have a registered version of Opera and like it much better then anything else. Firefox would be my second choice because everything nails IE.
 
Yea I've had that trick off The Inquirer. Its called put Firefox into overdrive. I havn't noticed any major speed boosts but its something.

Your right about the IE but Opera? I've heard of it but never used it
 
Opera has been around for ages, the free version has a small banner which really is not that annoying, it has millions of skins, options and so far has been as secure as you can get on the net. Outstanding features of Opera are it's ability to identify it's self as mozilla or IE for sites that just have to have a IE browser, i just tell it opera is IE.

You dont have to try it, you dont have to like it. It took some getting used to for me, but It's all I use now. I do have firefox + a few others. I have even used things with names like ghetto browser. Most are not worth loading because they can pretty much surf basic websites and dont really have any plugins or options that work.

Lynx forever, baby! ;) Really though, I've used a lot of broswers too, and I think Firefox is the best out there. Not even worth comparing to IE, and it's so much lighter & faster than most other Mozilla-based browsers. The best >10mb you may ever download. :good:
