May 27, 2009 by Gautam

These tips will help you improve the speed up the performance of your Browsers, Internet Explorer and Firefox. After performing these tweaks to your browser, you’ll notice significant improvement in browser loading speed.

If you are on a broadband connection you may not notice much difference, but if you are on dial-up connection and a slightly older model PC then you’ll notice the difference.

To Optimize Firefox Browser For Faster Browsing :

1> Open Firefox and type “about:config” in the address bar and hit ‘Enter‘

2> A warning will pop-up, but don’t worry. It is a security warning, you can proceed without worrying.

4> Search for ‘network.http.pipelining.maxrequests‘. Default value will be ‘4’, change it to ’10‘.

5> Create a new string (you can do this by right clicking in the empty space) – ‘nglayout.initialpaint.delay‘ and set its value to ‘0‘ (zero).

Restart the browser and you should enjoy faster browsing.

To Optimize Internet Explorer For Faster Browsing :

1> Click on ‘Start –> Run –> type regedit‘

    From regedit – the Key entry – “HKEY_CURRENT_USER –> Software –> Microsoft –> Windows –> Current Version –> Internet Settings” has multiple entries (ex: 5.0, Activities, Cache, Connections, etc),
    Which entry do you change ?

    yeah it is most useful for me, but i think this technique is old one, because i have one more technique

    goto – > Run – > gpedit.msc
    in that filed under computer configuration select administrative template
    now you can see on right side “network” select it then select”Qos Packet scheduler ” in that filed select limit reservable bandwidth select enable and set into 0..

    after that surely you can better speed in internet..

    also visit my site for more updation,, if you like

    Also to minimize firefox memory usage when its minimized. Just add this boolean value “config.trim_on_minimize” and set it to true.
