Speeding up web browsing
There’s an idea from Gervase Markham that caught my eye in the blogroll today. Get browsers to start the process of downloading a page when the cursor hovers over a link.
In fact you can already give this a go by installing the FasterFox addon for Firefox.
Seems like a cool little technique. I agree that Firefox would be good for this, as it is much better than IE.

Great widget!! I just downloaded it. I do many downloads and it makes the whole process very slow as I use a very slow dial up connection. Thanks a lot for sharing it.

Before I give any suggestion, I'm going to try this one first before making a comment I really need addons that will make my firefox browser faster.
