The easy way to make your browser faster
 
Go to Tools -> Settings -> General

and disable Javascript.

Probably the easiest hack ever posted at ITT. :)

Sure, some websites will not work anymore. But most will. Including ITT.

Try it out, it really makes a difference.

This would be useful if the browser would have an Opera-style "site preferences" feature where you could disable javascript globally and then enable it on a per-site basis for "critical" pages that require it... Same would go for flash, gif animations, popups, etc.

...or it shows a way to disable/enable it with an icon in one of the various app launcher programs out there. :)

The NoScript Firefox extension provides similar functionality as Site Preferences. A port would be awesome.

Disabling ads, and using Flashblock also speeds up the browser experience.
