I'm using it now and couldn't be happier! It's already saved me over 10 seconds, and there's no catch!

Thank goodness. One of my biggest computer problems is the slowness of web pages loading. I remember back when I had a modem, and pages loaded like lightning because the Internets were not very crowded yet. Now that everyone and their brother has the broadbands on their machines, it's too crowded. I hate waiting in line. Hooray for google!
You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.
I visited thehun.org while running dumeter as I wanted to see what a link heavy site would do to the Google Web Accelerator.
I noticed a geo ip advertisement at thehun that normally recognizes I live in Phoenix and offering to introduce me to hookers in Phoenix. Now though, it wants to introduce me to hookers in Mt. View.
So that sucks.
Man, I was so disappointed when that link didn't work.

Oh yeah? I just Googled for this very topic and there is absolutly no proof of that sort of thing. Ever. To Anyone. You'd think that if it were true somebody would have blogged about it. So you must just be parinoid.
