Here's a quick n easy process to make your internet browser quicker.

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

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.

More options:

For DSL users:

1. Type: about:config

2. Set:

network.http.max-connections : 64

network.http.max-connections-per-server : 21

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server : 8

network.http.pipelining : true

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests : 100

network.http.proxy.pipelining : true

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.

I've tried it myself, and it defintely make the the browser faster. Not 10x faster, but you can tell it's quicker.

kewl. i did something like this a while ago, but i never saw visible results. it seems a bit faster, but time will tell. thanks.

[mr fluffernutter]

this is THE virus!

[Darkadious]

damn, thanks.

[sohoADDICT]

thanks man

[DJ2xTech]

this stuff works. use it!

[Guest suckdick]

thanks a lot, do you have anything for safari?

[owl]

aziz, thanks.

[chronoaug]

Any reason why this works, or did you just hear it from someone. Does it cache pretty much everything or what's the reason for the increased speed?

[DJ2xTech]

^^ i think I read somewhere that the reason why it's faster is because it sends more requests to the website and increases stress on the servers or something.

its harmless, but it works!

[mrpenguin354]

Thanks a lot!

[wEstSidE]

hey idiots...don't do this. it's not really much faster and it's stoops.

[aziz]

^ Maybe because you have dial-up? I don't know. Works great for the rest of us....

thanks a lot, do you have anything for safari?

Hmm, I'll try to find some mods for Safari. Feel free to expirement with the settings as well...

[wEstSidE]

people still have dialup?

don't use this...it's just a waste of bandwidth.

[Sayword]

so it does puts stress on the servers?

[wEstSidE]

that's a good question...it depends.

[aziz]

so it does puts stress on the servers?

That is a good question...I would have to do more research. This was just a spur of the moment find, so I didn't look into the negatives of it.

[alterion]

use the faster fox extension, it actually works unlike thsi stuff which is half just messing about with random settings

[Guest Goose25]

firstly, rep from me - i like to see others getting the best out of it all!

i don't think it will add any more load to servers if you are increasing your browsers 'allowed http requests'. a website application opens and shuts database connections depending on how well the application was designed, not from the browser calling connection requests and the same goes for http requests.

ajax calls are treated differently through the XMLHttpRequest object and the whole story behind ajax is reducing server loads through sending and receiving tiny xml packets.

i did it, i think i notice a difference to. I wish i would have payed more attention to how fast it worked before i did it. Thank you!
