PugJr Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 PHPFreaks used to seem to load in like .8 seconds. Now its instant. No pop-ups. No viruses. Its like freedom! Only disadvantage is that I can't press the smileys. Try turning off your Jscript today and reap the considerable advantages! (Personally, I never liked sites with Jscript in the first place anyhow.)

RichardRotterdam Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 While you're at it why don't you disable Flash and CSS? That will get you an amazing speed boost. That or simply use Lynx web browser or something similar. No pop-ups. No viruses. You're making an assumption that all popups and virusses are causes by javascript. This is totally false.

trq Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 No pop-ups. No viruses. Yeah, because phpfreaks opens heaps of pop-ups and installs heaps of virus's. Your point is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Of course it'll be faster when you disable things. I'll also use less system resources if I boot into a terminal and don't start any graphical environment on my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I also disable downloading of all images.... when I use my mobile phone for browsing, cause I pay per kB... You'll probably be seeing more disadvantages with time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keldorn Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 PugJR is on to something though, there is lately a lot of viruses. I've been using NoScript for Firefox for the past year. This would protect you from most virus hacks. Plain HTML cannot make you download virus but JavaScript can. I only allow Javascript for trusted sites. But most of the sites I view have Javascript disabled now. Btw you see how many sites are badly coded, menu in stranges places etc. without javascript. lol btw PugJR, don't confuse Jscript with Javascript, and same that Java is not Javascript. All are completely different things. Jscript created by Microsoft as an alternative for Javascript. Only Internet Explorer has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also use less system resources if I boot into a terminal and don't start any graphical environment on my computer. Is that possible to disable the graphics in Windows while its boots? My windows is not slow, it does take about 60 seconds to boot. But I do have a Quad Core Phenom, AM2+ mobo and 4GB of ram with a HD 3870. But I would prefer if it booted in half that time. one of the most annoying APPs on your computer that boots, is MSN messenger, seriously remove that garbage asap from autoloading on startup, even on my computer it makes the boot take 5 mintues. gawd I hate that application. But my sister when she comes over my house and uses my computer keeps installing it! >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Is that possible to disable the graphics in Windows while its boots? No, but you can on Linux/BSD. Simply don't start X when booting, so just remove it from /etc/init.d or wherever your boot scripts are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesta707 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 .8 seconds is pretty fast regardless. just don't go to attack sites and you don't have anything to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
