how is speed dns different from just putting google dns or opendns in your resolv.conf?

Installed both and it does certianly seem quicker.

fasterfirefox installed no problem with microb rstarting after 10 seconds, but when installing speeddns, having pressed 'restart' it just seemed to wait there. After 30 seconds or so, I closed down all instances of Microb, started it up and speeddns was there on the addons page.

Nice 'easy' way of speeding up browsing

It resolves the DNS for every link BEFORE you click on them.
This will spare the DNS resolve time for any link you might click, and thus will make clicking the links feel faster.

The version of Fasterfox you link to is v3.9.5
Is there any reason you have not linked to the latest version of Fasterfox?

I have just installed the lastest v3.9.6 and it seems to be working very well.
Many thanks for finding this.

Many thanks for finding that there has been an updates. It was just updated on May 17, 2011 and my last post in this thread is May 15. That's the reason why it was the old version.

Plus. I was sick these past few days so a huge apologies.
