Well DER!

But it kinda screws up every good aspect of the internet, unless you just want text.

I agree with what bananaphone has said. Losing a good webexperience isnt worth gaining a better performance. It will be better to use a text based browser like a windows port of Lynx than to disable all those features in IE.

Do you really want to know on how to boost internet surfing? Use Firefox. Wink Life gets better with it.

Firefox is a good browser, but there are also some lighter browser such as kmeleon or opera (now free and ad-free too) : http://www.opera.com/

One day KDE will be ported to windows, it means konqueror will be available on this plateform too :

Konqueror is also a good file manager, much better than the one provided by microsoft

Now, you don't have to go read articles to figure that out. Sure that will impove the performance but then the internet turns into multiple text documents. haha.

I used to use a program which is supposted to reconfigure your settings to boost speed. It was a load of rubbish though so now I just use firefox.

From what i`ve tested Opera always comes first at speed of connection and almost every aspect of a normal Web browser. But on linux i ussually use Dillo. It has a few bugs on displaying some web pages, but the speed is incredible...i`ve got my slackware machine up and running a few days and i had pre-installed firefox and Dillo. Dillo loads pages about 50%faster then firefox.
But now when i`m on Windows i just use Opera, which although it is a proprietary internet browser (and i`m a huge fan of the open-source movement) has many advantages over other browsers.

P.S. (talking about proprietary software, Micro$oft has alot to learn from opera Wink )
