Speaking of Firefox:

Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up (besides making sure to not use "high end" graphics apps while using firefox...which is still annoying):

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.


However, on a more game-related front - I'm an applications developer by trade, and the effort I put into cross-browser support makes it very clear why so many companies produce games on console systems rather than PCs... ;)

Well, something good about this situation: I just changed right now my IE
for FireFox; seems to be a cool browser.
