Google Web Accelerator: a warning
Google have just announced their own Web Accelerator. I won’t go into detail (you can read these articles for that, but be warned that the first link occasionally has some unpleasant ads), but I’d advise everyone to steer clear of it – using it potentially allows others on the same service to access your private information (emails etc.), as well as increasing the traffic (and hence the costs) to this website. For all of 0.1 seconds increase per page-load (and that’s after you’ve visited a site) it’s not worth the potential security problems. (Also, if it starts to up traffic here for no good reason I’ll block Web Accelerator users from this site.)
Just so you are warned.
