Default Google's Web Accelerator

I know I know, its not exactly new...but I just noticed this nifty little tool in the google labs. It lowers the web page DL time like crazy! Its working extremely well so far ^_^ The counter says that Im saving up to 17 seconds of loading time.

Heres how it works:(copy+pasted from the site)
  • 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.
Heres teh link : http://webaccelerator.google.com/

Duh. On my DSL it had no effect. But it has one more feature that is ip-hiding. If you tend to visit any site which tracks your ip then u can use google web accelrator to change your ip to google's! Sites will not block google ip as google is a major search engine.

Nope. It is only for Windows users. Not for we linux users and tux-fans.

For Windows users, see this tut for configuring GWA on ur PC: Browse Websites as Google!
