Naviscope provides an interesting collection of Internet tools geared toward speeding up your Web browsing. A system tray icon and autohide taskbar access its considerable arsenal of tools. Among these tools are Web page ad-blocking and pre-fetching. The ad-blocking feature works quite nicely, stopping banner ads from loading. You can also choose to block blinking text, background images, background sounds, and cookies. Pre-fetching is especially handy when conducting Internet searches, as search results are downloaded while you're browsing. When active, Naviscope puts a sizable, floating status window on the desktop, showing the average and peak connection speed, connection delay, time saved by pre-fetching, and the number of ads blocked

DNS2000* will quickly speed up your loading of frequented Websites. If you see "looking up host" or "finding site," then your browser is wasting time with domain name lookups that are taking too long. Domain name lookups are how the Internet converts a Website name to the correct IP address for the host server -- the same way you would match a phone number to a name, using a phone book. DNS2000 automatically caches these domain name lookups, so that your browser can jump directly to the proper IP address without waiting for Internet DNS servers to perform the lookup.
