One of the most common queries nowadays is “how to speed up your browser”. In fact, one of the top articles of Universe Firefox is called How To Speed Up Firefox 3, which covers only a few tips I’ve found around the web, and that I will maybe collect in one guide.
But for now let’s go back to present, and let me tell you what I have found today.
Tweak Network is a fabulous Firefox extension that allows you to tweak your network settings with a GUI interface. You can set all the parameters as you wish, with two preset buttons that you can use to switch between Default and Power mode.
After you install it, a new button into your Tools menu will be created: Tweak Network Settings. Open it, and you will see this panel below, where you’ll be able to configure the parameters, for both modes.
Default
Power
So if you don’t want to be bothered with complicated settings inside Firefox or simply want to give it a try, download Tweak Network now and enjoy faster browsing!
