Dave,
For IP if you wish...
This morning Gmail served up an ad for Google Web Accelerator. It's
from Google Labs. It is software you install for IE or Firefox that
runs all of your Web downloads through Google's global caching
network. The stated purpose is to speed up your surfing. Privacy
implications are staggering.

When I installed it, I intended just to try it out with Firefox. The
installer didn't ask and enabled the tool for both IE and Firefox. A
toolbar tells you how many seconds it's saved; I'm up to 12.8.
