i wondered what add ons the general forum favour or would recommend? i have the usual ones to do with privacy, adblock plus, better privacy, flashblock, stealther, track me not, also PHZilla which is a rather excellent proxy service, however, here is an excellent little one termed flagfox which displays the national flag of the server that a particular web page is issued from. I find that to my surprise, RHP servers are in the good old U S of A. Anyhow any recommendations are appreciated - kind regards Robbie

Ugh, Firefox take about 10-15 seconds to load for me...
The other computer in the house has the same CPU but only 500mb RAM and it loads Firefox in about the same amount of time.
What are you using?
Originally posted by hopscotchit works my friend, i tried it, about half an hour ago and its awesome. yes you cannot increase the bandwidth allocation from your ISP etc, but this is really noticeable. when i visited RHP the pages were sticky, now they are instant, web pages load much faster. Its either that or my imagination. try it, if it dont work for you then you can always resort back, no harm done.
Those things never work!

$%@$load of add-ons though... It can be somewhat irritating at times, but once it's running it's all good.
