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:

/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.

I was very skeptic about SpeedDNS making any difference in speed, but seems I was wrong.

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

Wow this is amazing, I feel like the browser starts up faster as well and pages load almost instantly, sorry to those having troubles but once you get it you will be happy
