An Even Faster Browser?

Posted by Cliff on from the living-up-to-the-hype dept.

octavian755 asks: "Seems that a 16-year-old Irish student has created an Internet browser called XWEB, which is the fastest browser known to date. This browser is said to be capable of boosting surfing speeds on a dial-up connection by 100 to 500 percent. What I would like to know is something like this even possible?" Update: 01/20 07:30 GMT by C : As folks have pointed out, this story is a duplicate. Also, a minor title gaffe corrected. Sorry about that.

    someone pays these folks to edit. I really thought I'd see the day when VA/Sourceforge wondered why they were doling out bandwidth and salaries for /. instead of newsforge. I suppose when VA goes under ... but maybe not, there's too much brand recognition in slashdot.

    Hell, I'm posting. But I'm not subscribing. Ever. And banner ad revenues and a buck will buy you a cup of coffee.
