758584 2009-03-22 11:09:00 I must say, after grabbing the latest Chrome BETA, PF1 absolutely ROCKETS when used in conjunction with Privoxy! :D

That said, the main page goes from <2 seconds to 13+ seconds when I disable Privoxy...

Was reading some benchmarks and thought I'd give it a whirl. Call me crazy but I honestly reckon its faster, not only for browsing but loading up too! I swear it loads up faster than FF / IE now (Havent tried vs Opera / Safari though).

Anyways, as you were ;)


Chill.

758587 2009-03-22 20:39:00 Ah but do you have the latest Beta version (2.* instead of 1.*?) of Chrome?

Privoxy will basically disable the Ads for you :)

758588 2009-03-22 20:45:00 Thanks Chill I got version 1 but the updater says its up todate, how do I get version2? prefect (6291)
758589 2009-03-22 21:36:00 Chill: Awesomeness! Chrome + Privoxy ftw..!!

prefect: download Chrome beta at www.google.com
it should automatically update your systems older Chrome version...

Privoxy can be downloaded at http://www.privoxy.org/

Hope this helps

758591 2009-03-22 22:26:00 Been using chrome fro awhile now and loving it, gonna try that privoxy thing, it sounds great. pantera989 (14533)
758592 2009-03-22 22:30:00 Privoxy does a good job, (just as long as you put the ips in under proxy.), with most of the browsers.

Altho, you dont need it with IE or FF. I'm using it with Opera to reply in here.

Its still pretty fast. Altho, with Opera (9.64), on some sites (with or without Privoxy), you'll see (at the other end of the address bar), it'll stop (where it says elements % of %) sometimes, it can get annoying

Privoxy was just as fast, with Safari. But since some of the options in Safari dont work, I biffed it.
