Firefox Extension: Fastererfox
ADVERTISEMENTS
Most of you have heard and tried the popular Firefox Extension - Fasterfox, but have you tried the even better Fastererfox?
Fastererfox is a tweaked version of Fasterfox that allows you to improve your surfing speeds even faster (especially to regularly visited sites) with some new features, contained in a new Tab called “Thrash” which you can find in the options settings.
The 3 new features given by Fastererfox are
- The ability to force pages to be prefetched, ignoring webmasters attempts to stop Fastererfox
- A choice of dynamically created pages to cache (ASP, ASP .NET, JSP, STM). Quite often many dynamically written pages are fairly static and can be cached
- The maximum number of links to preload on current page. This is set to a maximum of 100 by default and can be set to a higher value
Another thing improved in this extension is the status bar which will now give you even more information than just the time the page took to load!

Do you know does this affect ads being displayed at all? I’m not a big fan of adsense being disabled, as it can hurt the publisher of a blog or website.

Fasterfox is great, it really made a noticeable difference for me when I first installed it.

Very interesting. Thanks for the post. I’ve loaded it and my initial impression is that it does appear to speed up loading even without trying some of its more advanced functionality. I’ll have to play with it a bit more to be certain.
