Introduction
The web is an amazing thing. You can watch videos, read articles and get the news on just about any subject you could think of. But when you’re browsing the internet, there are some things that can slow down your experience and make it harder for you to get through your workday or navigate through your favorite websites. So here are some tips for speeding up your web browsing:
Disable Auto-fill
Auto-fill is a feature that automatically fills out forms on your computer, phone, or tablet. It can be turned off in the web browser settings.
To disable auto-filling:
- In Chrome: Click on the three dots in the top right corner of your browser and select Settings from the drop-down menu. From there, select Privacy and security from the left pane of options; then click Content settings under Personal information on another tab (if you’re already there).
- In Firefox: Type about config into this address bar followed by enter (in Firefox); then search for various preferences including browser_formfill_enabled
Use an external browser
The first step to speeding up your web browsing experience is to use an external browser. There are several options available, but the most popular one is Chrome.
For example: Open up Google Chrome and type in www.google.com/chrome into the address bar at the top of your screen or click on “More tools” in this very browser’s menu bar and select “Settings”. You’ll see an option called “Incognito mode” which allows you to browse privately without saving anything you see on websites (or even downloading any files). This means that when you’re done visiting these sites—and they’re not asking for personal information like credit card numbers or passwords—you can close out all windows without saving anything back onto their servers so no one ever knows what happened behind closed doors between yourself and this particular website!
Use Wi-Fi to browse the web
When it comes to speed, Wi-Fi is your friend. If you’re using a mobile connection and are looking for ways to speed up your web browsing experience, then this is the place where we can help.
Here are some tips on how you can use Wi-Fi to speed up your internet:
- Use Wi-Fi as a download tool
- Stream videos on Netflix or Hulu with low-quality settings in order to save bandwidth and data usage by avoiding buffering issues that arise from high-quality streams (e.g., watching HD content).
Turn off Flash
- Turn off Flash
Flash is a technology that allows you to view videos and other content on the web. It’s incredibly popular because it can allow you to watch videos without having to download them first, but there are some downsides: Flash uses battery life like crazy and can cause crashes, freezes, or other problems with your computer if it’s not properly configured. To disable Flash in your browser settings:
- Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Content Settings (or use an extension)
- Scroll down until you see “Adobe Flash Player” and click the Remove button – You will now see a message saying “The Adobe Flash plugin has been removed from your system. Please install it again from here: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/#installation.” If this message does not appear after clicking remove, please check if any external extensions have been installed which may be causing issues with installing flash again
Adjust your settings to save battery power and data usage when connected to a Wi-Fi network.
If you are a frequent traveler, it’s important to know how much battery life your device has left when it is connected to a Wi-Fi network. You can save battery power by turning off the Wi-Fi connection when not in use. This will also reduce data usage and speed up web browsing time significantly.
Some apps block or limit their use of cellular data when they detect that there is an active cellular connection (e.g., 4G). For example, Google Maps uses GPS navigation technology instead of an online map or database; therefore, it can operate without using any data from your mobile carrier’s network unless you’re connected via Wi-Fi at home or work environments where there aren’t any towers nearby for receiving calls/texts through cellular networks (e.). To avoid this issue altogether though; simply tap Settings > Cellular Data & Internet > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names List to see which APNs have already been assigned by default before diving into app settings menus since some might require additional configuration changes depending on what type they support like tethering options available within select applications such as Facebook Messenger
Limit the number of websites you use at once.
If you use a browser extension to limit the number of websites you use at once, it will help to speed up your web browsing experience. Some popular examples are Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin.
Adblock Plus is one of the most popular ad blockers out there. It’s easy to install and use—just click on this link to download it: https://adblockplus.org/en/installation-guide/
uBlock Origin is another good option if you want an all-in-one blocker that also blocks tracking cookies, malware and popups (which can slow down your page load times).
Delete cookies and history.
Cookies and history are two different things that can be deleted from your browser and your computer. Cookies are small files that websites save on your computer when you visit them, while the history is a list of URLs visited by you in the past. If you have too many cookies or don’t want to keep track of each one, then deleting them will speed up your browsing experience because they do take up space on the hard drive.
To delete cookies from your computer:
- Open Internet Explorer or Chrome browser and type in “about config” at the address bar;
- Click on the “search” button;
- Type “cookie*” into the search box; A list will appear with all kinds of settings related to cookies (including those listed above). Scroll down until you see something called the “cookies*” section where there will be some numbers following it. Click on this number until all related entries disappear from view so that only original entries remain visible in the list form below screenshot above screenshot taken after removing old ones
Clear cache frequently.
- Clear cache frequently.
- Clear cache when you are done using a website.
- Clear your cache when you are done browsing the web.
- Clear cache when you are done using your browser, such as Safari or Chrome (or Firefox).
Saving battery and data by using tools like Chrome’s Battery tab also helps improve your web browsing experience
While you’re browsing, you can use the Battery tab to see how much battery time is left. The data usage tool will show you how much data your device is using and when it will be used up. These tools are available in Chrome by default, but they aren’t always easy to find. To locate them:
- Tap on the three-bar menu icon at the top right corner of your screen; it looks like three horizontal lines stacked on top of each other (you may have seen this before).
- Click More Tools > Data Usage; this opens up a new window where you can view which tabs are using most of your data (and therefore slowing down performance).
Conclusion
We hope we’ve helped you with the tips and tricks above. You’ll notice a difference when you use them for the first time, but after that, it’s just about getting accustomed to how much faster your web browsing experience is going to be.
