On May 3, 2005, Google launched a downloadable web accelerator know as Google Web Accelerator. Currently, it supports Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer. It speeds up webbrowsing through the use of a local proxy server. This server sends request's to Google's Web Accelerator servers to help get a faster response. The data between the local proxy and the accelerator servers is compressed to increase transfer times. The Google Web Accelerator also uses caching and prefetching. Currently, The Google Web Accelerator is only for North America and Europe.
