I found this while responding to the google size thread. Seems quite intresting, most of the other services that offer this aren't free, but hey this is by google. If you don't mind me being snide for a moment, they say it works best with broadband, well, us dial up users are the one's who need the speed up, but seriously, I think this will be a good thing, I used it for a few minutes, I have ISP/modem problems but it said it took 5-6 seconds off my waiting time! |

Seems interesting. Aren't they putting their fingers in too many cakes? A web accelerator. I always thought they were spyware! Now from Google!! I hope this is not a spyware... They say in the beta testing phase, it is only for people in North America & Europe, so I cannot install and test it right away... sad...

I guess this is another good service fro google. i am on a dial-up internet connectio, so this web accelator would be a big help for me. I just hope people wouldn't just cut and paste some stuff from other websites for the FAQs.

yay! TWO posts that are exactly the same and both of which are copied straight from google.com! Amazing... The thread creator has a link to the same content... back to the web accelerator, I really believe this is not google having their finger in too many cakes. In terms of their business, they are the masters at collecting and organizing data. This is another way to collect usage stats from people. They will know what pages are popular (accessed many times) and then they will probably incorporate this into their ranking system. PLUS, they will have surfing habits which they can use for marketing or they can sell the information. They will track similarities in web surfing habits across thousands of people to develop profiles. For example, 90% of those who go to car websites also go to computer websites. That would be valuable information for comptuer sellers. They know they can reach their customers by advertising on car related things.

I've been using this for a few days, it seems to work here and there... most of the time the difference is very little though. in 481 pages I've saved 5.1 min.

Yeah it appears to be good and valid but who really needs an accelerator when you have broadband.....a few milliseconds of saved time isnt a big deal. Secondly, you all need to start using the quote tag cause the moderator will yell at you since you get credit for posting something that isnt yours.

i find Google Web Accellerator useless, it does not work for the army system because it saved the page in your hard disk, therefore the money you got stay the same after you had bought something. and it also make me fail to load some pages in other forum. however that still in beta, it may get batter in the real version.

Heh, just tried it for a day, and I saved 15 minutes on my browsing time! Amazing that the Google Web accellerator isnt spyware, like the other free ones that you can download off of other websites.

QUOTE It's gmail all over again, their reading my email AHHHHHHHHH! That's just insane, infact when you go online everything you type is sent open to a third party. Or even to a first party, your ISP. Who says you can trust your ISP? They have a privacy policy, they must be trustworthy, well so does the Web Accellerator. It even says taht https pages won't be cached and that it all is encoded to you, besides, I will say like I said with gmail, don't like it don't use it! It's free, and no body is forcing you to use it.

Google Webaccelerator is a backdoor/trojan horse and has vulnerabilities that hackers are using as i'm writing this post.

I used to use the Web Accellerator, but lots of people say its spyware, and are having problems with it. So I am not going to take the risk of anything happening to my computer. Its still is in the beta stage anyway.
