Switched Browsers

only thing that sucks abotu maxthon is that it doesn’t support UNC paths… :frowning:

I have IE, Firefox and Netscape Navigator 7.2

i dont really have a problem with any of them.
IE isnt bad with a good popup blocker

i’m an og IE user boi ee. i tired some others based on your guys suggestions, and for normal surfing, i didn’t see any real recognizable difference from mozilla and ie with a google bar. :dunno:

I was looking around offtopic the other day and the guys on there posted this:

1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit enter. 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.

  1. 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.

Set “browser.turbo.enabled” - to “true”

Set "network.dns.disableIPv6 - to “true”

  1. 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.

it seems to speed up firefox even more. I was always a hardcore IE user, but firefox 1.0 with these changes is insane compared to IE.
