Degenen die tweakers lezen, hadden het vast al gelezen

nu nog ff bij de rest,

Firefox ruim 10 miljoen keer gedownload
Firefox 1.0 is meer dan tien miljoen keer gedownload sinds de browser in November officieel door de Mozilla Foundation werd gelanceerd, zo lezen we op Silicon.com. Volgens analisten betekent het hoge aantal downloads dat consumenten de veiligheidslekken in de huidige marktleider Internet Explorer zat worden en overstappen op de nieuwe browser van Mozilla. Mozilla-gebaseerde browsers hebben op dit moment een marktaandeel van 7,4 procent.

Ik vind van wel, ikzelf gebruik opera nog omdat ik dat gewend ben met zijn tabs, maar firefox werkte lekker en stabiel. Veiligheids lekker worden sneller gefixt, en problemen kan je goed oplossen bij de community.
ook zijn er vele plugins beschikbaar, gratis...
ook zal je beduidend minder last hebben van spyware

je kan het gewoon proberen, IE en firefox draaien probleemloos naast elkaar.

even een tip om Firefox nog sneller te maken
het werkt echt

How to speed up FireFox
________________________________________
Only for broadband & adsl
1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.proxy.
network.http.pipelining pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. i put 35 instead of 30

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!
Speeds it up nicely indeed

idd het werkt

Uhm, ik heb toevallig een nieuwe lijn toegevoegd.
In plaats van aan te passen heb ik Nieuw -> Getal -> 30 -> 30 ingevult.

Is da erg?

ff goed lezen dan komt et met jou ook wel goed

staat wat meer in deze tweak

Yes, firefox is already pretty damn fast but did you know that you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?

That's the beauty of this program being open source.
Here's what you do:
In the URL bar, type “about:config” and press enter. This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox.

Note that these are what I’ve found to REALLY speed up my Firefox significantly - and these settings seem to be common among everybody else as well. But these settings are optimized for broadband connections - I mean with as much concurrent requests we’re going to open up with pipelining… lol… you’d better have a big connection.

Double Click on the following settins and put in the numbers below - for the true / false booleans - they’ll change when you double click.

Code:
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true
network.http.max-connections – 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
network.http.pipelining – true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
network.http.request.timeout – 300

One more thing… Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a NEW -> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.

Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!

Ow ja, die laatste tweak had ik nog niet gezien.

Bedankt.

Om eerlijk te zijn.
Ik heb een serieuze poging gedaan om het te gebruiken en ik vind het progje nog steeds niet echt interesant en menig site wordt er niet mooier op.
Sry hoor, ik hou het bij IE.
Wanneer komt versie 2.0?
