Finding the majority of sites I visit fail to load properly, even something simple like Google...
Don't no whether it's my Cisco firewall, but I doubt it... |

Great once its loaded, tho I had trouble getting it installed (took two restarts) but that might be due to some of the specialist software I have installed

am not worried about privacy, google have no interest in any details, and I imagine whereever it's stored will be secure.
won't this thing increase traffic to sites and create false hits?

I guess it would, it makes a request to the webpage if you visit or not.

Well been giving this a work out in the last 24hrs on ADSL there is NO! difference what so ever..
But! and here is the BIG BUT! it does make one hell of a difference on dial up, I have had pages loading like ADSL speed on a 56k modem. So if you on Dial-up I would recommend this but if you on ADSL it just looks nice on your browser window

I disabled how it's automatically done (AFAIK) in FF. 4Mbit keeps me covered... on top of all my other speed tweaks.
