Do It Clean
Got a super-cool tip for Mozilla users out there (and by extension, Netscape 7, Phoenix, et al).
Go to this directory:
C:\WINDOWS\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\xxxxxxxx.slt\
where ‘xxxxxxxx’ is a random string of characters. Create a text file and put the following lines in it:
user_pref(“nglayout.initialpaint.delay”, 0);
user_pref(“network.http.pipelining”, true);
user_pref(“network.http.proxy.pipelining”, true);
user_pref(“network.http.pipelining.maxrequests”, 100);
Save it as plain text as “user.js”
Close Mozilla and restart. Bam-o, a fast browser is even faster. Do it now and watch your quality of life improve. You hair will become shinier, your teeth will become whiter and your sex life will improve.
And if you’re not using Mozilla, why the hell not?
This tip comes from, who else, resident geek-o-matic Vic.
