Loading webpages is something you want to do fast. There are many popular webbrowsers out there that all have a different type of handling with webpages. The two webbrowsers with the biggest market share, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer can be tweaked for speed. Your webpages will now load up to 4 times faster! It's easy and the changes are made within a few minutes. After that, you'll save lots of time browsing on The Internet.

To speed up your browser, follow the next steps for your browser.
