Speed up browsing time

One of the biggest time wasters during the work day is waiting on your browser to load. It's very important to keep your browser lean and clean. There are a few different ways to do this.

1. Choose a light browser for regular web surfing

I realize that you need to use Internet Explorer for some things but IE is not a light browser you should be using for everything. I suggest downloading Google Chrome google.com/chrome for regular use. If you are in love with IE for some reason use "Internet Explorer (No add-ons)". This is available on all PC's.


2. Toolbars and Add-ons slow your browser start-up time

If there are multiple toolbars installed at the top of your browser (the most common are Yahoo, Google, Ask Jeeves, and Windows Live) uninstall them, you probably don't need them. If you like to use a specific search engine, go to your browser settings and choose a default search engine.

Go to your browser settings and see what add-ons are installed. You will probably find some you never use.


3. Clear your browsing data often

You can clear your browsing data by going to your browser options. You will see something like this:

Make sure you read carefully before checking a box, you may delete information you needed like saved passwords. You can even clear browsing data automatically on some browsers. To find out how, well just google it.
