Taking Care of your Browser for Performance!!!

http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/318/b/4/how_to_take_care_of_your_internet_browser_by_jji7skyline-d4g7s58.png

Some people install several toolbars for their browser, especially those people who are still sticking with Internet Explorer. Toolbars reduce usability, productivity and slow down the whole application. For optimum performance you should use as few toolbars as possible. This image illustrates.

Re: Taking Care of your Browser for Performance!!!

That is a very good tip. When I didn't know better (and was still using IE, shame on me), I used to install all those toolbars that came with programs. I thought they were awesome, but I just ended up making IE8 less usable than it was to begin with.

And this is another reason I love Chrome: Toolbars are non-existant, and even if I speed through an install and forget to uncheck "OHMYGODLOLOLTHISISEPIC Toolbar" in the setup, it adds it to IE (which I never use anymore), not Chrome.

Yea, that's what I did before on the other computer.  smile

I have the tab bar, the location bar, and bookmark tab-bar, and status/addon bar. FF8 (almost said 4; there's barely any outside difference!)

Re: Taking Care of your Browser for Performance!!!

I followed a couple guides to speed up Firefox. One of the most major things was turning off prefetching of content linked to by pages. HUGE speedup, considering the amount of links on some pages and the amount of pages I have open. Firefox runs a lot faster now.  big_smile

Yawn.
