FasterFox I know many of you were waiting for Fasterfox to release a Firefox 2 compatible version before upgrading, and now you don’t have to wait any longer. The newest version also comes in 11 new languages  but doesn’t contain any new features.

It has been awhile since I have tried Fasterfox so I figured I’d give it a whirl. I haven’t had it installed very long but I don’t notice any tremendous speed improvements when loading websites.  I’m not going to give up that quickly though and I figured I’ll leave it installed for about a week and then remove it to see if I go through withdrawals by not having it.

  1. but I don’t notice any tremendous speed improvements when loading websites.

    Same here. It did improve loading websites in the earlier versions, but i don’t see any changes in FF2.0

  2. Tried it once. Wasn’t impressed. However, Fox 2.0 is bringing in pages quicker than it’s previous version for me. I especially noticed my Google personalized page is much quicker.

  3. I think only real difference is, that you can get banned, if you use Turbo Charged.
    Some servers do not like it, that is what kb.mozillazine.org says and tweakguides.com

    Wasn’t too impressed with the first version and likely won’t bother with this version. The only sites that load slow are because of their crappy servers.
