I start with

Firefox

By default Firefox loads text,pics and other elements consecutively.This is a disadvantage when you have DSL(fast conection).But you can change that.

This is going to make your Fox visible faster:

Type in the address bar: about:config and press enter

After confirming the warning,look for the entry:network.http.pipelining

Doubleclick on the value:false Now should stand there:true

Close Firefox and start again.The change is now active.

Have fun!
