Fasterfox is now compatible with Firefox 2.0

ADVERTISEMENTS

I just read on Shivaranjan’s blog that the Firefox extension, Fasterfox, is now compatible with Firefox 2.0.

Firefox fans who must have upgraded to the latest Firefox 2.0 would have been disappointed over the incompatibility of Fasterfox extension. The developer of Fastefox extension has updated it to be compatible with Firefox 2.0.

Earlier I had used MR Tech’s Local Install extension to make Fasterfox compatible with Firefox 2.0, but now an update can fix the problem

For those of you who have not tried Fasterfox yet,

Fasterfox allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial paint delay.

Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with the unique prefetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing.

   menghua- I have not seen any noticible difference in the loading speed of web pages after installing Fasterfox. So I use Fastererfox after a reader mentioned about it on comments in this post.

   I’ve used Fasterfox for quite a while now, and though it occasionally slows down new pages I visit, pages I regularly visit it speeds up surfing a LOT!

   I’ve found a link for a tweaked version of Fasterfox, called rather cheesly Fastererfox. It allows you to grab web pages even faster with some new options which can be changed by the rather cool sounding “Thrash” option in the properties box.

   With Fastererfox I have noticed better performance. Let me know if you find any improvement after using it.
