ok firefox with this hack and fasterfox is comparable to camino. just a tiny little slower, but so much worth it for the extensions. ♥
Jul 12th, 2007soooo nice.
Jul 12th, 2007as far as i know, it doesn't.
Jul 12th, 2007It does load pages faster, but it also hammers web-servers, I'm not sure if you're aware. And it could eventually crash a server (like SN) if enough people use it. Some web-server admin may actually ban you from their websites if they're paranoid about the stability of their server enough.

orevergeek.com has a useful guide on speeding up firefox for broadband users. basically after getting to the hidden config settings you set the browser to request more data that it usually does.
Jul 11th, 20071.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
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 receives.
If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages MUCH faster now!
