Boost your IE speed by ten times with Google Chrome Frame

You are so used to IE that you don’t want to try other web browsers, and you are tired of the Internet Explorer. You can boost the speed by ten times of IE by using Chrome Frame plug-in for Internet Explorer. It is an open source plug-in that brings HTML5 and other open web technologies to Internet Explorer. Tests conducted on Google Chrome Frame has vouched that this plug-in boost the java script rendering capability of IE8 by 9.6 times than IE8 own rendering engine.

 

What Chrome Frame does is that it lets IE utilize the Google Chrome WebKit rendering engine and V8 JavaScript engine. These rendering engines boost the Internet Explorer rendering capability. Now the natural question is why you need this plug-in? Recent JavaScript performance improvements and the emergence of HTML5 have enabled web applications to do things that could previously only be done by desktop software. One challenge developers face in using these new technologies is that they are not yet supported by Internet Explorer. This plug-in will help to run new web applications like Google Wave etc. smoothly in your browser which was not otherwise possible in IE with their native rendering engine. And as a bonus you get the speed as well. The Chrome Frame plug-in works with IE6, IE7 or IE8 on Windows XP and Windows Vista.

The plug-in is pretty lightweight around 500K. But it will then download around 10 MB of data on your machine. You may download it from Google site.

UltraSurf – browse anonymously and access internet behind firewalls

In the recent days we have noticed that people are more inclined towards anonymous browsing just to check their friend's social network contacts and all. Also they want to surf by defying the corporate firewall as well. They use several tools but among all UltraSurf is the one that is used widely in China to bypass governmental censorship . For the one who do not know much about UltraSurf, I will briefly explain it a bit. 

UltraSurf allows you to overcome the censorship and blockage on the Internet. You can browse any website freely, so as to obtain true information from the free world. UltraSurf also protects Internet privacy with anonymous surfing and browsing, hide IP addresses and locations, clean browsing history, cookies & more. Even it works great with VPNs. It is a tiny download of 400 KB. Download it and double click on it and it is installed. First time it takes 5-20 seconds to configure itself automatically. It scans the firewall and opens configured internet explorer for you. Now you can surf all blocked websites. Once any user uses it, he/she tends to get hooked to it due to its smart features and ease of access.

Even though it is a good tool to overcome the censorship of the internet at our work place, there are some hidden truth behind it as well. We found significant malware behavior, even mismatched and self-signed certificates and preventing them (user) from seeing a popup about it. Ultrasurf is designed to be a free http proxy tool, and it is somewhat, however this is a cover for it to be a virus / malware that is nearly stealth and undetectable to normal virus scanners because of it's heuristic avoidance and encrypted payloads.
