Answer» Hello Guys:
Lynx is not based on IE. Not even close.Quote from: moro on July 24, 2010, 09:55:37 AM This browser I'm not used So you ALREADY use a browser? Then which one do you use?firefox 3.6.* & opera 10.06 And My question is how can manually tune the browser to increase the speed of loading pages Or by software Quote Lynx is not based on IE. Not even close.I may be wrong: I considered this link http://www.fastestwebbrowser.com/ . As well as the link he mentioned, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_%28web_browser%29 Quote how can manually tune the browser to increase the speed of loading pagesDisable addons and stop any programs which use up bandwidth. You can't make your connection faster.have you ever considered doing a simple google search for something before making declarations about it? this is Lynx: this is the wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_%28web_browser%29 It is the fastest browser, period, simply because it doesn't waste time downloading images and other amenities. Measuring browser speed is completely retarded as far as I'm concerned. It's like arguing about wether Programming language A or Programming language B is better. The programming language isn't even close to as important for speed as the actual program itself, just like the browser used to interpret a web page is hardly as relevant as the content of the web page itself. Various web sites claim to have "tested" browser speed using all sorts of tests. The tests are as meaningless in the context of actual web browsing as MANY so-called "programming language" tests are. Program A in Python could be faster then Program B in Perl, but there could just as easily be another set of programs that do the same thing but whose performance is reversed. Just as how two web pages could look exactly the same but have completely different "performance" numbers when it comes to browsers. The entire concept of "performance testing" HTML is completely ridiculous. It's an interpreted markup language that contains interpreted script code. It's not something designed for speed, it was designed to be as easy as possible to change, edit, and work with. If HTML was supposed to be built for speed we'd have HTML compilers that parsed a page into some SORT of intermediary binary format and Javascript compilers that would insert machine code for every conceivable CPU code language. Saying "Browser A (of firefox, chrome, or IE, usually) is the best browser because it's the fastest" is like saying "I use C because it's the fastest programming language"- they are similar because, first, the stated browser is never "the fastest", which for browsers would either be lynx or a lynx fork of some sort, and for programming languages it's simply going to be machine code), and second, it's completely irrelevant. Even when you can whip up a quick perl or python script to do something in say 2 minutes and it takes an hour to make an equivalent program in "C", I highly doubt you are going to be running the program millions upon millions of times that the 5 millisecond difference (which I just made up, and this is assuming that the C version even runs faster, which is a guaranteed effect, and it's almost never as notable as 5 milliseconds difference) is never going to make back that wasted 58 minutes you spent "optimizing" your ridiculously simple program. Interpreted programming languages exist because they they don't exist so that everybody can whip them out and measure them against each other. PHP is one of the most prevalent Web programming languages in existence, and it's a scripting language. but you don't see it used on windows desktops, where VBScript is the most commonly seen. If we were really going for the fastest possible speed, we wouldn't have keyboards, we'd have flip switches where we all have to input the machine code instructions for the program and behaviour we want. Sure, it takes 50 years to start a game of solitaire, but it's a whole femtosecond faster at shuffling cards, so it's worth it, apparently.Thank you for your interest and your information |
