slimbrowse is a Firefox addon designed to implement a web proxy that enables faster surfing using various techniques, such as compression, graphics reduction, removal of advertisements, server based "Safe Browsing".
This is especially useful for mobile devices, browsing the web thru slow or volume based, expensive connections, like GPRMS, UMTS, or dial-up modem connections. The traffic, when browsing, is drastically reduced, so browsing either appears to be "faster" because of less data transferred, or "cheaper", in case of volume based tariffs. Or both.
Requirements:
· Firefox 3.0 - 10.*
