There is nothing like surfing leisurely on the net things you don’t really need and reasons you don’t really understand. However, what happens when your browser becomes leisurely too?
Firefox is one of the most popular Internet browsers on the market. When you install it for the first time, it is nice and clean and runs pretty fast. Over the months you encumber it with pages upon pages of history, cookies, bookmarks, etc. This is when it starts slowing down.
Then it takes longer to start up, response is sluggish and it generally bogs down your web experience. Wouldn’t it be great to relive those days when your Firefox was still a new installation? Well, you can do that now with something called SpeedyFox.
Developed by a company called Crystalidea, this little program does some tweaking mojo to get your Firefox running as fast as it used. The webpage it is safe to download and use because it has been used and “tested on many computers”. So you won’t lose or break any of your saved passwords or bookmarks. Best of all, it SpeedyFox is absolutely free to download and use. It is freeware with no restrictions.
It will speed up FireFox startup time, history browsing time and cookie handling.

Now that you have your Firefox running all fast again, you might want to surf some sites that you do not want others to know about. Whilst you nudge and wink, we give you something called the Free Internet Window Washer. What it does is it washes away your sins all traces of your online activities.
As you may or may not know, the browser constantly records your online activities. Not because everybody’s out to get you (they are) but because it aims to make your browsing experience better by reducing load times and remembering settings. However, other than giving other people full access to your surfing records, it also takes up valuable disk space.
This is why cleaners such as the Window Washer are really useful apps that help you get a better computing experience. With this app you can erase run histories, the Windows temp folder, recent documents, browser caches, cookies (the virtual kind, if you have chocolate chip ones pass ‘em on), history, URLs, typed URLs, auto complete data and a lot more. For Windows only, by the way.
