[How To] Make your browser (microb) faster.Update 9/18/11
 
Hi guys.

Garcel here from the philippines.
This is a add-ons (Fasterfox) which works in my country that really makes the browser of the N900 (Microb) faster.

Update 9/18/11

Fasterfox version 3.9.7

Fasterfox Lite Version 3.9.1 - without the Enhanced Prefetching

"Speed DNS".
This add-on does DNS pre-resolution of all the links on a web page and hence saves the extra second that it takes to lookup this information when you click on a link. No more starring at your web pages till it loads.

install it here

Having installation problems?

1) You restart MicroB but still nothing happens?

Code:

Use filebox and remove everything from the:
/user/.mozilla/microb/extensions/
folder.
2) Notification is telling that "Microb could not install the file because not a valid install package" Error 207

Code:
Source
Retry - after clearing your cache - the next time you're connected to the internet.
Update:

Addban Add-ons
Blocks ads, ad popups, cookie trackers and spyware on the web. basically. no adds on a websites will load the page much faster.

Feed backs

It seems to take away (partially) the long delay between entering the address and microb starting to load the page.

Re: [How To] Make your browser (microb) faster.
 
- How can you prove that file and source are reliable?
- Instructions needed besides 'install it'?
- What will be changed?
- Who has developed and tested this?

Nonetheless, I am interested in improving the speed of MicroB.

[EDIT] Thanks for the kind responding, have installed and notice the improvement. Kind regards! [/EDIT]

Re: [How To] Make your browser (microb) faster.
 
just tried this in ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop, and it seems to work, would say some pages loads 2x as fast

don't know about microB, can anyone confirm this on microB

Re: [How To] Make your browser (microb) faster.
 
So I take it this is just a packaged list of all the changes that we would normally make in About:config yeah?

Re: [How To] Make your browser (microb) faster.
 
I don't promise this add-ons to work around the world. We just tested and it seems to work

@blipnl
Thanks for the heads up. Just want to make the thread simple.

@reffyyyy
Thanks for posting the source I forgot about it.

Just post feedbacks. if you guys want to close this thread I'll close it for you no hard feelings Im just sharing. :)

Re: [How To] Make your browser (microb) faster.
 
so, fasterfox downloads linked pages on each website?
this would incrase data traffic and decrase battery life, right?

ndi 2011-05-12 12:05
Re: [How To] Make your browser (microb) faster.
 
Don't mean to be a behind, but fasterfox had so many issues I had to kill it in several incarnations. For one, it assumes I should use RAM to preload things. In a portable browser, RAM and CPU is limited, while bandwidth is respectable at 54 MBps.

Using the same wifi, Microb is slower than a laptop, obviously due to RAM usage and CPU when rendering.

It might deliver, but it didn't for me. Only a few sites were slightly faster, as the expense of memory. Also, bandwidth was never my issue, it might be for you.

Just adding my experience. Good luck.

Another easy way to make microb faster is to add your config to a file user.js in /home/user/mozilla/.microb because the standard file prefs.js is overwritten with any start of microb.

Re: [How To] Make your browser (microb) faster.Update 5/15/11
 
Thanks for the support you guys. Remember that we all have different level of technology infrastructures. :)

You can uninstall the add-ons by clicking the drag down menu on the web browser. Then click options. then click add-ons.

@Kralde

Just press the restart microb. You won't have any notification but it will take effect. :)

Re: [How To] Make your browser (microb) faster.Update 5/15/11
 
Whe I press restart, nothing happens. No restart, nothing. Can't see the add-on after manually restart the browser.

Did you double check your add ons? Web browser>drag down menu>options>add-ons

Attachment 20133

If it doesn't show up try installing it again.
Are getting an error? If so. What did it says.

Carlito 2011-05-16 07:28
Re: [How To] Make your browser (microb) faster.Update 5/15/11
 
Didn't get any error. And it doesn't show up either after restart.

Maybe a setting in about:config why it won't work?

Don't mean to be rude but. I replied on the previous page. But it seems you're having different problem. What do mean by. "I cant uninstall already installed contents" You can't install app from app manager?

Garcel 2011-05-16 10:45

Yup. Ihave both running. It is superb :)

For some of us, me included, the restart button doesn't restart and thus add-ons never get installed.

One then might get the impression that addons that had been installed couldn't be uninstalled, but the fact is they were never installed to begin with because you have to restart to complete the installation.

Re: [How To] Make your browser (microb) faster.Update 5/15/11
 
Hmm, for a real test you might need to flush DNS cache.
Anyone know how to do that?
