What web browser did you use? For me, I choose Firefox, because fast and secure. My younger brother choose flock,because the interface looks like firefox=)

Well, as a firefox user, you must know , when you entre a blank page,in the address bar, it will show up “about:blank”. Today,I just know it have many “about:” commands

“about:” command

1st
Name: about:
Function: General Information
Type about: into your address bar and hit enter. This provides information on your version number, Firefox copyright date, and release note (if you click on the version number).

2nd
Name: about:config
Function: Firefox speedup tweak
Here are the steps:
1. Type “about:config” in the adress field.
2. Set the value of network.http.pipelining to “true”.
3. Set the value of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to “100″ or “200″
4. Set the value of network.http.proxy.pipelining to “true”
5. Set the value of nglayout.initialpaint.delay to “0″
The last line, “nglayout.initialpaint.delay”, this entry needs to be created as it doesn’t exist by default. To create a new entry, right-click the other entries in the window, select “New” > “Integer”, and paste in “nglayout.initialpaint.delay”.
Set the value to zero — “0″.
