holy crap.... just tried FIREFOX for the first time... and it was fast as crap..
then i found this little hack
this is a way to allow Mozilla's Firefox to download more then one file at a
time on a web page. Basically, allowing it to download the web page faster.
So just follow the steps below. Make sure you don't change anything
besides what I am telling you, this might result in messing up your firefox
settings.
Follow these steps:
First off, you have to be using Mozilla's Firefox in order to do this.
1. In the address bar, type about:config
2. a big list should come up, then find "network.http.pipelining"
3. Double click "network.http.pipelining" until it says true under value
4. Double click "network.http.proxy.pipelining" until it says true under value
5. Double click "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" and change the number to 30
Just installed the newest Firefox on my friend's computer who has cable modem. I removed Mozilla prior to the instalation.
This thing is a LOT faster than it was before!
excuse my lack of kowledge here... what is a firefox?? is it another web browser like the Internet explorer and all?? again sorry... if it doesn't have Daewoo written on it then i no nothing about it.
Firefox has it's problems (very few) ... so i keep IE around.. made FF my default.... only use IE when needed... Firefox will make your cable seem faster and make u less succeptable to spyware and viruses!
I have cable internet to...
i'm pretty sure it's windows only but check out www.mozilla.org

I just did a side by side comparison. I loaded http://www.cardomain.com with both IE and FF (not at the same time lol) and FF is quite a bit faster just by itself and with WooHoo's tweaks.
Firefox: I started using it about half a year ago...and I have noticed a lot less spyware when I scan the comp. It is really good. You may also want to use "Thunderbird" for email. It is faster when uploading and downloading messages for me.http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/
Plus like OZ said it is the same on different OS setups. I use XP Pro SP2 and Debian Linux. Thanks for the tips WooHoo they have seemed to help. I use SBC DSL Pro package(comparable to a good cable speed) but I have noticed a difference.
