Speedy

Most of us know what a traffic jam feels like, so you won�t feel like a fish out of water when your Web surfing becomes more like Web sinking. More than anything else, your browser�s speed depends on the speed of your Internet connection. But browsers have some tricks up their sleeves that give users turbo in the Web race.

You can configure Netscape Navigator to display images after the page has loaded. That way, you can see quickly the text on the Web page. Before the images download, you can scram from the site if the content doesn�t suit you.

Stopping the page can save you a lot of time too. Don�t let long downloads make you feel like you�re stuck in jail and have to wait for the page to fully download before escaping. Many browsers, like Netscape, let you click the Stop button or press the Esc key while the Web page is downloading. You�ll be free in a flash and on your way to a previous page, a new link, or a new search altogether.
