Google Web Accelerator 0.1.52.58 Beta
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUOTE Google Web Accelerator is an application that uses the power of Google's global computer network to make Web pages load faster. It is easy to use; all you have to do is download and install it, and from then on many Web pages will automatically load faster than before. Google Web Accelerator is currently optimized to speed up web page loading for broadband connections. Google Web Accelerator uses various strategies to make your web pages load faster, including: Storing copies of frequently looked at pages to make them quickly accessible; Downloading only the updates if a web page has changed slightly since you last viewed it; Prefetching certain pages onto your computer in advance; Compressing data before sending it to your computer.

that's not spooky, but Google Accelerator's prefeching declaratives are, food prefetchs all links on a page, therefore, it downloads all pages, before you even visit it, therefore, if there was a "delete this account" or "cancel" my subscription link, Google would have alreadly visited that page, and therefore, you could lose your account. Other security concerns have been addressed at this. I say for the sake of your safety, don't use Google Web Accelerator, get a DSL line instead.

Caching will even store your PRIVATE INFORMATION, so when you go to a secured site, you'll be logged in as the person who used it last, or someone else. Oh and, please don't double post again.
