so you use it I assume? had any problems with it?

It is the devil. IMO lol.

This allows google to grab any information whatsoever from your pages, including any passwords etc that are typed in. Worse of all is that it also allows them to measure Overture click throught and gain data needed to steal competitors advertisers.

I would not be surprsed to see some sort of anti trust case brought against Google for the use of it, to make sure that at least there is full and clear disclosure of the potential implications of use.

I remember a company named Marketscore (previously) Netsetter who offered a, "free" internet accelerator ;o}

I can't believe Google is going down this road.

Thanks Guys,
Over eager me thought that it will be of help since it is google. Thanks for the caution OWG.

Google has now in the first half of this year revitalised two major no no's from the past. this being one (as Paul points out) and the second being 'autolink' in the toolbar that creates hyperlinks on pages where webmasters do not want them. Something that Microsoft was absolutely lambasted for when it brought it out a few years ago under the name 'smart tags'.

I don't trust any software that says it will accelerate my load times on websites. If they don't load reasonably fast on a cable connection then there's really no need to go back.

Duke,

Did you try this software, unfortunatlly from Romania where I live I cannot acces

Ovi

I have not tried googles web accelerator but I have tried similar programs and noticed no change to my browsing experience or download times. Of course this was a few years back when I knew very little about anything.

Thanks for the caution old Welsh Guy. I think it is important for one to know the implication of any free software before downloading it. Most of them do more army than good.

Lovely
