Fast Browsing on Slow Connection
From the Geek Files, this seems thoroughly useful. You folks who are out in the world will have to report back and tell me if that’s so.
If you frequently browse web from dial-up, mobile phone or any other device with a slow internet connection then make sure to check out BareSite. This handy little website strips all unnecessary attributes from the webpages and leaves only the main content. No installation or download needed, simply go to BareSite.com and enter the URL of a website you want to access.
Don’t forget two essential Firefox extensions:
Flashblock: control which sites are allowed to show you Flash: http://flashblock.mozdev.org/
AdBlock Plus: http://adblockplus.org/en/
Those two put together can make most media sites pretty zippy.
AWESOME. oh man can I use this. thanks L!!
