Default Fast surfing some tips....

Hi all,
Please give any tips and tricks to speed up internet browsing in this thread.

Todays tips:

1. Use any light weight browser like K-meleon.
It has all the functionalities of firefox

K-Meleon

download and install adblock plus for k-meleon. It blocks many unwanted ads and popups and speeds up browsing.

Adblock Plus: Using Adblock Plus in K-Meleon

If you have and very old comp. use Opera .Turbo mode in opera 10 beta is good for slow connec. & also saves bandwidth .

If your comp. is not very old then Firefox is the best.
Recomende addons:
1.Fasterfox Lite
2.Adblock Plus
3.Flashblock
Limit the no. of addons installed to only bare essential bcause many popular addons are know to cause memory leaks n crash.

Chrome is good for those who can live without addons.

bhai you misunderstood him, he told that because opera requires somewhat less memory and has all features too, so its best for old computers. he didn't mean that it can't be used in newer ones.

maybe not necessarily so. anyways leave it, its confirmed that we both are opera fans.

turbo mode saves around 70+ mb for me per day, according to its stats.
