The other one:
Google web accelerator: Downloading it right now…Will post a brief review tomorrow night…

http://webaccelerator.google.com/

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.

never mind the Google web accelerator:…seems as of now it’s workin only off US based servers…seems to be slowing down my conneection…am uninstalling it temporarily…

The Google suggest is uber cool though…almost Psychic :hap5:

heheh.. yeah.. i guess it matches the quick results from its cache/database n shows up on the screen. But for dialuppers, it’ll take a li’l more time for Google to “Suggest”

Looks a good product though..I’ll surely try it sometime.
