Well you now how on the commercial for netscape it has $9 web accelerater, well i was just wondering if that helps at all?
yups thats still what it is. its still surprising most people still dont get the logic behind that..4W4K3 said:If I remember correctly, a "web accelerator" is only something that decompresses images and info on a website so you ill get it faster. While it might boost load times, it makes all the images and such very low quality. I think using a browser like Firefox and tweaking it correctly is better than a "web accelerator", or using a browser liek Opera.
Someone tell me if i'm wrong here, I very well could be.
from netscape's faq said:How does Web Accelerator work?
The Web Accelerator technology compresses text and graphics that make up Web pages and stores them in an area on your computer. When you revisit a Web page, not all the elements that make up the page need to be downloaded over the Internet, so page loading and Web surfing is much faster. Plus, with Pop-Up Blocker, you no longer have to wait for those unwanted pop-up ads to load.
