Time waits for no one

My dentist told me I needed to floss more.

That's a big demand for a Googler's busy lifestyle. Where do you find the time to floss - less foosball, shorter lunches, skip out on ultimate frisbee? Hardly!

This calls out loud and clear for a way to optimize time. One mundane time-waster we all contend with, for example, is waiting for web pages to load. The tantalizing promise of a web page is only seconds away. But even on broadband, the wait's too short to do something else - and just long enough to be irritating. Let's face it, those seconds add up.

As you may have noticed, we're slightly obsessed with speed around here. When you search on Google.com, your results are returned to you within fractions of a second. And now comes Google Web Accelerator. After you download it, we hope you'll enjoy that same Google-fast experience across the rest of the web. After all, seconds add up to minutes.

It not even that important, it would be better if it actually increased the speed of your internet connection..

The FAQ Page
 
7. Can I run Google Web Accelerator on a browser other than Internet Explorer or Firefox
For other browsers running on Windows, you'll need to manually configure your proxy settings to 127.0.0.1:9100 for HTTP connections.


:D

Looks good, I might download it later :yes:

It pre-loads the main links on a page...

Have you closed and re-opened IE? (P.S. IE Sucks!)

Well, my browser has been slow recently and it is noticeably faster, so I'll stick with it :)

The image I posted is from the installation program. Sending out personal information of (almost) any kind is spyware.

And anyways spyware is only spyware if it doesn't get your permission first so this thing isn't spyware.
