Google Web Accelerator is an application that uses the power of Google's global computer network to make web pages load faster.
Google Web Accelerator is easy to use; all you have to do is download and install it, and from then on many web pages will automatically load faster than before.
How does Google Web Accelerator work?
Google Web Accelerator uses various strategies to make your web pages load faster, including:
· Sending your page requests through Google machines dedicated to handling Google Web Accelerator traffic. · Storing copies of frequently looked at pages to make them quickly accessible. · Downloading only the updates if a web page has changed slightly since you last viewed it. · Prefetching certain pages onto your computer in advance. · Managing your Internet connection to reduce delays. · Compressing data before sending it to your computer.

hmm..
Long time ago there was a free program like that. I stoped using it
after it was discovered to be a spyware, they store user sites and info
and then sell the info to marketing companies. I know this one come
from google but I still don't trust it. Beside, even when they created
G-mail there was some privacy issues discovered that made news around
the world.

It does work good especially with this site but with norton internet security with ads blocked turned on, most of the ads arent being blocked any longer.

I would recommend using OnSpeed instead (at least for now), as Onspeed is a much better evolved product at the moment. It supports High levels of Image compression, Flash Compression, Ad Blocking, Popup blocking, and compression of compressed datatypes like SFX exes, MP3s, etc.
And as for Ad Blocking, nothing beats Ad Muncher. If you arent already using Ad Muncher, then you are missing someting..
Heres my stats: I've been using Ad Muncher since November last year, and so far, it has blocked 443,932 ads (Saving me from downloading aprox 3 GB of data)!! (Btw, I'm on dialup!) The Ad Blocking alone has speeded up my net, plus the superb compression-casheing routines of Onspeed has considerably speeded up my browsing on dialup!
